Lots of good suggestions. To answer the question about the gun, he has one, but I hid and hid the bullets in another place. I told him that if he's gonna drink, there will be no guns at his disposal.
Uncertainty, LOL...my counters aren't big enough fnor them to get on. They can reach them easily. My oldest one time ate every top off every cupcake in a pan I had cooling. He couldn't get them out of the tins so just ate the top. He also ate 32 mini creampuff shells I had cooling once...rotten!
This is back and forth. He doesn't quit for long...30 days is the longest he's gone ever so we'll be back on the drinking cycle soon. It's just me he takes it out on...he was pleasant to everyone else yesterday, but took his frustration out on me. I yelled right back at him yesterday and he walked out again.
We're coming to the end now...he knows it and I know it.
I can't wait to get off of this roller coaster.
