I haven't told him I'm trying to stop drinking completely, but I can't believe he hasn't noticed the dramatic change in my evening habits: I don't have a glass of chardonnay glued to my hand all night.

So he puts the wine away and runs off to a game with the boys.

I didn't even want a drink tonight and now I'm going a crazy trying to avoid the bottle in the fridge. I'm afraid to go near the kitchen because I will be tempted to open that bottle so I'm holed up in my bedroom.

I'm feeling a little sabotaged. He doesn't drink very much although I've noticed an uptick in his consumption in the past few months. Ironically, that's part of what caused me to rethink my drinking habits.

Jeez this is hard.
It's possible he noticed your intention to stop drinking and is trying to derail you, but it's just as possible neither are the case. By not discussing this with him you can't be certain what he understands or thinks. It's also possible by not telling him, you could be sabotaging both your recovery and your relationship. I'm sure you'll get that all figured out, and good for you to take these first steps. That's HUGE!
