and congrats to you too NoAlcoholToday!! 10 days. how i would love to see mine go that long. his friend is coming over the house today (while i'm at work) to help him take down our huge party tent in the back yard. i am so fearful of this person coming over becasue he seems to trigger my husband's desire to drink. happens every time. i am anxious to see if he will stick to his efforts of stopping or if he will crumble. i am not in any way blaming his friend. we are all in control of ourselves, but he is also unemployed, doesn't have a wife or girlfriend and lives with his mother. (and i am talking about a man over 50!!) but a very depressed person who i believe enjoys the company of misery. my husband is very familiar with the term. the two of them together is not a pretty sight.
