Seems to me he may appear to have things under control cause he is using the weekend home as his hide out to get blasted. I would do things like that. I would be able to hold out during the week (or the weekend) knowing that there was a time very soon where I can drink how I wanted to and how much I wanted to. I do not post much on the F&F fourum but I just saw a huge red flag. I spend time on the F&F posts (reading mainly) cause it reminds me of how I used to be when I was drinking. How badly I hurt others in my life, and how they tried to make it all better for me. I use the F&F forum to learn and be reminded of where it can all go back to if I do not stay sober.
