Thus, I checked this morning, found the empties and a receipt dated from the day before. I know the signs, since I used to be a "closet" drinker. What puzzles me is that he denies being a drinker at all. He says he doesn't like the taste of alcohol, etc.

I need to talk about this with him, but would like suggestions as to how to approach this.

I am recovery myself. My family is alcoholic. I know about denial and the 3 c's, etc. It's just the first time I've been faced with this sort of situation! Any input helps.

Thank you.
Just be totally open and honest!!
Don't try to sugar coat it....but be calm and cool about it.
If anything you need to do this for your own recovery.
