Mum-
Interestingly, I had a similar conversation with husband a few days ago. HOWEVER, I was the one suggesting that if at any time he was suspicious he could breathalyze me. He declined, but let me explain my reasoning. Previously, when I would be accused of drinking I would get defensive. EVERY time. For one of two reasons: either I wasn't and HOW DARE he accuse me... or (more often) I was and I wasn't ABOUT to admit it. (He already knew... I think I am SOOOO clever and sneaky... I'm not) But guess what...? The reactions look the same to him.
I figured it was a way to hold myself accountable and really, what would be the only reason to decline? I'd have to have been drinking right? Otherwise why would I pass up the chance to vindicate myself?
The difference here, as I see it, is WHO suggested it.
That's just my 2 cents, coming from some one who is still very early in recovery (5 days) but DESPERATELY wants to get it right this time.
Just something to think on... congratulations on making a go at sobriety ☺
