I've had to actually convince my husband I'm an alcoholic. He still doesn't entirely believe, but I think it will come about eventually. I too have been told that I don't appear drunk. My husband does say, if I drank like you I'd be on the floor. So he knows. Maybe he just doesn't want to admit it.

Hang in there.
My husband is a bit confused, too, about why I want to quit. He said he's never seen me act drunk, never seen me fall over, etc. Then again, when you are looking through your own 12-beer a day prism like he is, things are a bit distorted. I know normal people don't drink 7 or 8 beers a day!
