I had alcohol in the house when I quit. Never touched it. In fact, I was doing a massive clean out about 2 weeks ago and found it shoved behind a bunch of winter hats in the hallway closet. It's been there for more than 5 1/2 years. I was not intentionally hiding it, nor planning to drink it, nor in the state of a "dry drunk". I had it before I quit, stuck it there, and forgot all about it.
Had my spouse "searched" for incriminating evidence in my house as you did, he also may have accused me of planning to drink but that seriously was not the case, I really just forgot it was there. Also, had my spouse searched the house and then accused me of hiding it, I would have been pissed, really pissed. And it's OUR house, you violated HIS home. I'm not saying that is or isn't the case here, just saying it does happen.
Sober 5+ years.
