Mirage, that was a good idea to get your husband to take the beer with him. It makes life simpler and for me, being home alone, was a huge trigger.
Malcolms, I think you're being wise to be cautious about telling people about your alcoholism. Telling a good friend who you know will offer support is a great help, but if you think others might minimize your problem or be negative about it, then it's best to take your time and decide what you want to do.
Nands, I really hope you feel better.
