I know this not the place to post my message, but I need to vent. My Husband drank for many yrs, but came to this board for my 28yr. old son. Something popped up tonight that i had to share, althought my husband drinks a beer here & there, I ignore it as hes not a stinking drunk that he usta be. But although hes not 'drinking' he still has the Alochol sayings in him. Hes going to try again to stop smoking, but I was told not to start any bickering, keep to my self, leave him alone, don't even talk to him. If I talked to him I might make him start smoking again, my kids are adults, but I'am told to not have them bickering with eachother. Which means, if I sweep a floor, vacumm or do anything arounf the house, that will irriate him, I have been through his 'Stopping smoking' 4-5 times, so I know if ..i say ...'Good Morning' to him it will be harrassing him & he will have to smoke. So not only are we going to be walking on 'Eggshells' we will be walking on the whole egg,if one breaks, that will 'Make' him to smoke again. Like I said he has a beer or 2 but he still has the alochol in his system, from his 'Drinking' days. Wish us all luck that we can manage to stop this man, from smoking. Maybe the alochol is gone from his system but its still in his mind, you wouldn't 'belive' how many times I draged him into a bar just to poor beer down his throut. Will this ever stop? Not when yur blamed for his drinkng,or putting the lit cigarett in his mouth. Hes already fighting Cancer, but a skin Cancer. Oh well if I can't hide in my room, I'll go visit a few friends. Thanks for letting me vent, I know this board is for A,A, i had to vent somewhere. Love, Pegi
