Near beer drinking: trigger for me
My AH is now drinking and keeping near beer in the fridge. He got his DUI 7 weeks ago and had sworn off drinking forever. He was a dry drunk for 15 years of our marriage and he drank NA beer off and on during that time. What concerns me is that he said that when he started drinking the real stuff again it was when he would mix it with NA beer while I was traveling.
Anyway, the NA stuff still smells like the real stuff and it's a huge trigger for me. I could really use some words of encouragement so that I don't go ballistic on him and make things worse because I know nothing I say will make a difference anyway.
