I *know* why he suddenly feels like talking and I have to disengage or even just walk away. It sort of sucks but I know every one is on their own journey with this stuff. I was sooooooo over the top crazy drunk in the evenings so I certainly can't say a word about his addiction - he's quieter. It's still hard though. I wish my home felt safe right now. If I had the say, I'd request for there not to be any alcohol here.

I found it impossible to quit drinking when my gf drank. Watching her have a beer or wine with dinner was a constant trigger, and remained so into early recovery. We eventually split up and my current gf rarely drinks. It's just so much easier.
