Tip of the hat and a nod of respect to both busterb and brianna.
I don't have any experience wrestling a demon of that magnitude so I am limited to shouting encouragement from the cheap seats whatever it might be worth. Good luck to you both - I have seen others conquer this and what you have in common with them is the willingness and, frankly, the balls to speak plainly and openly about it. Round one goes to busterb and brianna. The once invincible demon is on the ropes - startled at the taste of his own blood.

After 15 years sober, my husband started drinking again. He thinks that he is 'in a different place and state of mind' in his life. He has been sober for our entire married life. It is strange to see him drink, something I am getting used to. So far he has been able to control it/himself. We are both very level headed laid back people and sometimes I question wether he really was an 'alcoholic' at all. I mostly think he was just young, unhappy and under pressure from his father.
(His father is very controlling) It does help him relax and he is able to have more fun with our children, not be so uptight. Hopefully everything will stay on the 'strait and narrow' as it were....time will tell. Hope all goes well for you busterb and Brianna

In the AA Big Book they say "If a man can drink like a Gentleman, hat's off to him". Through AA meetings and such, I've come to realize how many of us had very controlling and dominating same-gender parents. In my case Step 4 was a long and rewarding process of dealing with resentments rather than numbing myself to them. "Break a Leg."
