I quit drinking 14 years ago. I had a problem with it. A few years ago my wife started to have a beer or two. For the past couple of years it is up to four or five 16 oz beers a night after work. Sometimes it is a six pack. She pops one when she comes in after work, and sips on them until it is bed time. I drive a truck. I am out a few nights a week or more, but when I do come home, and we try to spend some time together, she can't stay awake. I have to take the can or bottle out of her hand so that she won't dump it down her leg while she is passed out. We have been married nearly 24 years, and I love my wife. She is my best friend and she is an attractive woman. I guess I am writing this on this forum because I don't have hardly anyone else to talk to around here. I wrote her a letter that she read today. I explained how concerned I am. It is affecting our relationship. One of her brothers is a full blown alcoholic with cirrhosis of the liver. We are under some stress right now. I am self employed, her mother's health is failing, and we are trying to get one of our sons to move out of the house. If I can't get her to quit, I am probably going to drive over the road again and just stay gone. I can't stay here and watch this go on. Anybody else been through this?
