its actually ( in a nice way) nice to look at this thread. i have for many years considered my husband to be an alcoholic. he is of course in great denial. says he drinks to relax, but his prob is he dont know when to take a step back, dont know when enough is enough.
i agree that ppl will have different versions.
but no one would say my hubby is an alcoholic. he has a couple almost every night and weekends ( well i just hate weekends at the moment). goes all sullen , eyes draw to a near close, falls asleep, leaving me to sort out our children and me left alone at night to twiddle my thumbs.

i personally think that an alcoholic is someone that drinks like my hubby. an almost everyday occurrence.

the funny thing is though, my hubby attended his local drs, who diagnosed depression. the tablets did help. but i do think his drink had a lot to do with his depression. but and you guessed it - did he actually tell his dr about his drinking habits, the answer was NO.
his gp was given the impression , my hubby does not touch a drop.
i just wish i was there.
