Hi Twinkle,
What a lot of great advice, plenty to take in but I'm sure you'll heed it. What I found living with a drinker is we fall into habits of acceptance, and the good days or weeks help us forget the crap-until it inevitably resurfaces.
I have finally confronted my partner R , and I think she is shocked that I no longer behave like a co- dependant. I also found in recent months that even when R wasn't drinking she was verbally abusive-to the point of bullying. I had difficult restraining myself at times-but of course it's always wise to walk away.
We are still under the same roof but in an uneasy stand off-she has no money now to buy drink-but she ain't confronting the issue.
best of luck
