I would not wish that on anyone. Believe me, I do not wish to be unsupportive. My persistence on these two questions is supportive (of you and your families welfare). If you do not yet have an answer that’s OK ... but it will serve you well to find one.

Why the pessimistic attitude? I always get back up and try again. I just need to refocus on the reasons why I don't want to drink and stick with it. It has worked well in the past, it will work well again.

Coming in here and spewing negativity will get no one anywhere

Sudz your SR join date is 2 and a half years ago. I'm being realistic. I've been there done that. I don't want you to "try again". I'd like to see you do it. I'll stop now. Best wishes.

You said it very well! Thank you for that! It bothers me every time when he says that he will "try" - It just doesn't sound like a commitment... only like a temporary postponement...

She is just very sensitive to any drinking whatsoever because of a past family experience.

I am also sensitive to being lied that you didn't drink when I can clearly see it on your face...
I am also sensitive when I am in one room and you are in another drinking behind my back...
I am also sensitive that you drive a car with me and the dogs in it after a few drinks...
I am also sensitive that after a busy, difficult day at work I come home and you are drunk...
I am also sensitive that the alcohol is killing you and I won't be able to live without you...
