FT, I do remember you mentioning this before. I think I've read of a couple of other people on here sort of unofficially doing this as well.

I want to do this - however i haven't worked myself up to the conversation I'd need to with my husband about it. Whenever we have guests over, I convince my husband to at least buy some wine/beer for them - but then he usually hides it afterwards or sends the guests home with the leftovers (which is slightly embarrassing). I understand why he does this and how scared he is that I'll drink again...but I think it would be very good practice for me to have something in the fridge for me to reject or dismiss every day. For some reason that I can't explain, I feel like this would strengthen things for me....but it's been hard enough to convince my husband that it actually helps me for him to have a drink or 2 when we go out to eat or to serve it when we have people over....I think he'd really give me a hard time on this last idea.
