Hi Newwife, It's funny you posted this today. I have been living with an AB for 13 years. I have, at this very moment, an empty tequila bottle in my bathroom closet, in the credenza, in the linen closet, 4 empty beer bottles in each drawer of his office desk (six drawers), and several empties in the garage. He has promised me over and over and over again that he was going to stop, but has never SHOWN me that he was going to stop. Unfortunately, I'm not able to leave him yet, but the second I can, I will. I can tell you honestly, it's a sh** life. The walking on eggshells, the worry at all hours, the moods, the blame, the anger. It can consume you if you let it. I typically don't write such strong sentiments to people on here, but I think you need to go. JMO
