Down the Drain
Down the Drain
Last night I had to talk to my live-in and tell him that I just can't have alcohol in the house and stay sober. If it's here, I WILL drink it. Before I could even suggest we get rid of it, he says "Then let's pour it out." So we poured half a case of beer down the drain. It was such a relief waking up in an Alcohol-Free Zone this morning. Makes staying sober today much easier than yesterday!!
Good job getting it out of the house. I can relate to having to have the house an alcohol free zone. My husband has been totally supportive and it has made it much easier.
Welcome to SR. You're not alone.

Awesome! We still have liqour in the house but wine was my choice, but there have been times when I'd drink anything to an extent. Never indulged in the scotch/whiskey. I am thinking I may have to rid the house of the vodka(wait I did that over the summer), gin(think I finished that off too), Tequila(gone...forgot about that margarita kick). All that is left is lots of whiskey(my husband drink of choice if he drinks which is hardly ever), 2 bottles of the gold rum a tiny bit a gin and sambuca. Wondering if there will come a time when I completely break down and want those. I can tell you if it were wine it would be long gone. I would feel funny having people over to a completely dry house but don't need temptations...what does everyone else do for parties? Go out and buy new stuff or tell people to bring their own or serve nothing? Hmmmm.

WOW. good for you! there is no way in hell that i for one, would be able to have any alcohol in my house, no WAY that i would be able to poor ANY kind of alcohol out, even if it tasted bad, i wouldnt care, i would still drink absolutely ANYTHING ...as i've said before, that to me would have been "alcohol abuse" in my "old" way of thinking anyway, lol
so you hang in there, that is a great start!
