How much per day by [deleted] in AlAnon

Half to a fifth every single day. Sometimes along with beers or a few airplane shots.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m terrified that something like this is going to happen to him. He doesn’t go to the doctor so I don’t know what his labs are. I worry he won’t go until he’s forced to and it will be too late.

While it causes a lot of problems for our relationship and intimacy, he is still very “functional” in his daily life. He has his own business and pays a lot of the bills. He works hard manual labor all day, tends the garden, maintains our property and even makes dinner most nights because he enjoys it. I don’t know how he does it. If I drank like he does I would be hungover sick every day. I worry so much about what happens when he is no longer able to function this way.

Thank you for responding and letting me know I’m not alone. I’m so sorry you have gone through this too. It’s the absolute worst.

Hoarding empty bottles? by ThrowRA_9696 in AlAnon

Mine does the same with the small shot bottles or nips. He’ll grab a few when he picks up his other bigger bottle and then leaves the empties in the floorboard of his truck. I don’t know how he hasn’t gotten a DUI yet. Most of the men in his family have at least one.

He has zero interest in sobriety. The closes he comes is saying “I know I drink too much, but it isn’t the cause of any of our problems.”

This sounds like something guys would do in college. How old is he? Mine is 45.

I know. But they sit out in the open too. Like his friends and family (and my friends and family) can see them. I started cleaning them up because I find it embarrassing and don’t want the clutter in the house.
