I quit drinking once for 2 1/2 years. I did it to lose weight. I had a stubborn 15 lbs that had to go. I lost the 15 in less than a year, but continued to not drink. I didn't want to, the smell of beer would get me sick. I felt so much better than.

My H made comments to me all the time. Prior to quitting, he would call me an alcoholic, now that I was drinking he would call me "a saint", sarcastically, ask me if I thought I was perfect. Would tell me that he would have to stop after work and drink in a bar if I did not drink with him. Told me I was boring. We fought a lot, after he would apologize, he would ask me to go out to a bar with him, and have a "couple. My H is an alcoholic also.

Things got so bad that I did go back to drinking. And I regret it. I also had to leave my H, and we are now divorced.

Whatever you do, please do not go back to drinking for him. You are doing the best thing possible for your life.
