Yeah, I do not think my husband can so easily stop, just like it was not so easy for us. I htink he has more than a casual and healthy relationship with alcohol. His drinking has always been a concern to me, before I was drinking so heavily. His lifestyle infuenced me, and with him, my drinking became more frequent and unhealthy. Not his fault, but very enabling. Both of us to one another. So much of what we would do would involve drinking. Music at a club, brew pubs on vacation, wine tours in Napa, etc...brewing at home, wine making at home...wine events. You get the picture.
Me quitting takes all of that away!
He knows I struggled with drinking, but really I think he only realizes it is healthier for me to stop, or moderate strictly. I do not think he can accept that I, or we, are alcoholic in our drinking. Well, how I used to drink. I don't anymore.
