I didn't poured all the alcohol I had down the drain. That would cause some sense of suspicious from my wife. I just told I was trying to lose weight and, among other things, I wouldn't drink alcohol. That means she can have a glass of wine while dining with me. It's something I'll have to live with. I won't stop her from having the occasional drink. It might be harder for me? I don't know. In 5 days that didn't bothered me.
It was hard to do, Renegade, but that was my philosophy, too. I dumped all of my wine but left my husband’s (a normal drinker’s) liquor intact. As alcohol was everywhere in my life, I used my home as my proving ground so to speak. I knew I had to be able to be around it. I didn’t make any announcement, either.
I have to say, though, that it was not easy.
