Just saying hello - I'm new!

Hi Friends -

Just wanted to say hello!!

I am completely new to this forum...I found it (you) because I was searching online for advice as to whether or not to give my fiance an ultimatum about his drinking... (Just for the record, I have decided NOT to...at least not tonight )

We have been living together for about 2 years now and he drinks daily...most days it's "just" a couple (his words, not mine), so he doesn't really see what the problem is. Except for when he does, if you know what I mean... He is almost 53 and has several medical problems that I believe are directly related to his alcohol consumption ((sigh))

Any-who, I have been reading threads all day and finally decided I should join up, so that I can put in my two cents.

That's all for now... see you all around the forum...

In love and light, Laura
