I was intrigued right away because I knew it would be interesting to watch with the AH.
The swapped wife dragged the husband to a counselor who said he very likely had a compulsion and a problem.
Of course the husband denied it. Then he said,"If you stop bathing or eating, then it's a problem."
"Hear that, honey? It's a problem when you stop bathing and eating."
"I bathe."
"Occasionally."
"I eat."
"Eventually." (Wouldn't want to interfere with getting his drunk on...he'll eat right before he goes to bed, sometimes he passes out before he even eats.)
So... what are some things that you notice that support the fact that your loved one is an alcoholic that they deny? Or what were some of the things you did while active that you look back on and think,"Oy!"?
When I was using, I wouldn't even think twice about heavy drug and alcohol use and driving.
It's only a miracle that I and some of my running buddies never got a DUI or hurt or killed ourselves or someone else.
Funny thing, I only picked up tickets and was involved in crashes after I was long C & S and riding sportbikes.
