I guess I just sometimes wonder-- if his decision now is to keep going down this path, why pretend that he isn't drinking and that he's probably drinking all day (even during work)?
Probably because of this………….
He is aware that I intend to move forward with divorce this summer if he doesn't go back to treatment and into a real recovery program.
Their thinking is so off but I’m sure he’s trying to “act” like he’s NOT drinking because in his reality if he’s not drinking then why the need for rehab?
They will go to great lengths in trying to convince people they are not drinking and do not have a drinking problem. They could be stumbling around unable to stand and slurring their words of “I am not drinking”. It’s the nature of the disease.
