I'm so glad you put the brakes on that. I used to find myself wondering everyday around 6 if my SO would make it til 9 when we would usually talk before getting drunk. I would call around seven and find myself unable to concentrate on nything else until the nightly conversation. I got past that but would still be wondering by the time the phone rang. If he was drunk, I could feel the anger just boil over. Now I just say, 'I don't want to talk right now, anything I say will be forgotten by morning'.
