People don't change, and I know this and will always be the first to preach it.
Last time I posted I had moved out of the house and took the our kids with me. Well that lasted a week! We had an anniversary vacation planned and AH really wanted us to still go on it and work on "us". Well we went to New Orleons and he drank and got drunk every day. When we got back I stayed at our home and it's been a month.
Look how hard it is for you to change, you left but went right back, now imagine how hard it is for him to change his drinking.
It takes dedication and commitment to change, a real desire then lots of actions to insure that happens.
I wonder if hiding it will become a new norm? He has never done that, but I never put rules in place either.
Rules or boundaries? Do you think he would actually follow a “rule” of no hiding cans/bottles? Or do you think you would actually set a boundary that you would x, y or z if you find hidden empties?
