This is what Terminally Unique wrote, sorry dont know how to quote it properly......
Wanting to be "held accountable" by your wife in order to abstain necessarily suggests that without being held accountable by her, you might not abstain. Your desire for accountability is nothing more, and nothing less, than a dignified plan to drink in the absence of accountability.
This is interesting. I thought that being accountable to my hubby was a good thing. There are times I've thought 'F it' but don't want to disappoint him so haven't drank. The next day I'm pleased for me but at the time not drinking for him got me through the moment. I thought that's why AA helped people too, the accountability when u have a moment when u don't care about yourself. I'm only 7 weeks but doing it for my precious family, my hubby and my daughter definately helps! And that doesn't mean if they aren't around I will drink, they are in my heart always and I could never look my husband in the eye and lie.
Interesting stuff
