Thank you Phoenix and Lettinggo ,
Sounds as though we are in similar situations .My H had told me "she likes her wine" OW had DWI the year this all started .She is definitely his drinking buddy.What I find so sad is his health is and has been suffering because of his drinking what kind of person who supposedly loves a man would encourage it .
He won't take Tylenol because he thinks it was affecting his liver enzymes .. how crazy it that but continues to drink like a fish.
I too like you Lettinggo have high hopes that he will deal with his issues from the past during his MLC which created the self medicating to begin with, I know what they are and he does too.
