In my expierence with my RA, confronting him will not do any good. He will drink if he wants to drink and he will be sober if he wants to be sober. He will live in denial if he wants to and he won't of he doesn't. I have found it better to step out of my A's way and let the natural consequences of his actions flow. I heard a great recovery quote the other day.

Alcholics drink, it is what they do. They do not drink at you, or because of you.

I am so sorry you are upset.This is what has helped me when I am upset and hurting because of my AH's drinking.

Maybe you can try to stop focusing on him so much. Stop worrying about how much and what he has drank, how much alcohol he has stock piled and what time he goes to bed. Do it just for one day. Because you can't do anything about what he is doing anyway.Try it and see if it helps.

Instead start focusing on you, your life, what you want. Focus on your recovery and taking care of yourself.Go to a meeting, call an Alanon friend or sponsor.

Hugs, Amanda
