i hope you keepin comin back!!! i was also a weekend drinker{every weekend}thats all i lived for at the time....i never drank during the week either...i did that for many years..i quit and started going to aa meetings for real close to 2 yrs..then a few years ago i begn to just sneak a few kahlua and creams on the weeknights to relax...i justified doing this because i was drinking sissy drinks and i wouldnt get plastered this way...i never fell down in front of my kids..they never even knew about my sneaky drinking... but i knew!!!!!!!!!! then i got to where thats all i looked frwd to anymore...personally i think when he is ready he will quit..i dont believe there is anything you can promise him to make him quit!! he has to have the desire to do so!!! maybe the two of you could check into getting some counseling...in the meantime you could check out the alanon boards here...****************{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}
