First AlAnon meeting tonight
After coming home on Saturday night to find the abf had finished the bottle of rum he was 'saving for company', then tried to hide the evidence, I have decided to finally try an AlAnon meeting.
I wasn't sure if I would tell him. I didn't want a negative reaction, like anger, or resentment. But we live together now, and had no explanation for going out at 8:30pm on a Monday night. I'm usually fairly up front about my feelings and thoughts anyway.
After making a joke - 'yes, your drinking IS becoming a problem', then trying to brush it off - 'I'm sure you'll find it's (his drinking) not such a big deal', he changed the subject & got back to his beer & video game.
I suppose it's the best reaction I could hope for.
Now on to building up the courage to walk through the front door. And trying not to walk in already crying...
