Greenfingers - I can relate to what your boyfriend said about "drinking less". My husband has had that response a few times when I've told him I just need to stop. But the problem is I've realized I just cannot do that. I'm not "normal" when it comes to drinking. Him and I talked yesterday and I think, and hope, he is realizing that I am not like him and "drinking less" is not an option for me. I need to stop drinking all together. So I can relate to the struggles with your boyfriend.
