Getting married in 2007

Hi there folks, I am an old timer unfortunately but there is a difference, I now have someone in my life that wants to be with ME, start a family with ME, but i am still experiencing profound difficulties with the 'ole grog'. Our honeymoon is in January and I am still battling the booze hounds. She knows of my issues and is still sticking by me however I don't think it will be long lasting if she finds out that I am still buying and drinking grog on the sly.

My eyes are tearing, as you booze hounds would know, they tear easily once the booze hits the bloodstream.

I am genuinely in love with this woman. She is everything to me. My heart, My soul. She is beautiful.

We are due to be married in TWO WEEKS!!!

Keep posting and Stop drinking. Go to AA Meetings and you will be over hangover in two weeks. Start your new married life sober and start it with AA an 12 steps. How long do you think she would put up with you being drunk? We can not be married to a women and a bottle at the same time.

You know you are choosing the booze here over your happiness with another soul. My mom (who was married to my dad;an-ex smoker, ex-drinker but now raging gambler-aholic) always said "the only thing stronger than love is addiction". We alcoholics are a self-sabotaging lot it would seem. You keep drinking and you will lose this beautiful woman you love. Even if she sticks around awhile you will be intentionally killing your relationship. Be strong, have faith and trust that you have been provided with a love to heal. Go to AA...get help...let yourself love and be loved.

Welcome to sR!

Drinking on the sly is no way to begin a marriage.
It's a huge secret and not fair to either of you.

I suggest you start with being honest and
begin AA.

Blessings to the two of you

Do the first step over again.

Starting a marriage with dishonesty is no way to start a marriage.

Sneaking drinks is no way to live.
