Thank you all so much. Dee...I had completely forgotten that. He did buy the beer first. Not that it really makes a difference...we had already talked about it and the seed had been planted.
But he drank of his own free will of course. God...I so needed to re-read that thread. He is his own person, he makes his own decisions. It was as though he couldn't wait for me to show him the green light.
Anyway it's a new day and that brings a new start. He is off work and we had made plans to go shopping for a new fireplace. He will no doubt be hungover but hopefully our plans will still go ahead. If not, I will go out and do it on my own.
This is such a weird feeling. I am so strong and positive about my own sobriety but beyond sad about our future.
Thank you all for your replies. X
