Even worst than friends
Is when the man you're living with does the same thing to you. We've both been nightly drinkers for the last five years together, but I've recently become allergic to alcohol and need to stop. You would think seeing my symptoms would make him understand that my health is more important. But I think it's just threatens him so much because deep down he knows he has a problem too and doesn't want to face it. So instead, he just tries to find a different alcohol that I won't react to, or tries to convince me that it doesn't happen all the time so I should keep trying different things until I find a solution that will still let me drink.
I'll probably have to move out to be successful at quitting and I know that, but it's really hard to do. I'm hoping I don't have to get all new friends as well. I guess I'll have to cross that road like you guys are when I get to it.
