I probably am being unreasonable here, so I'm prepared for answers.
Basically, I recently decided to remove alcohol from my life as it was controlling me, rather than me controlling it, and although it's early days, I'm doing okay with it.
However, my parents, both of who drink a fair bit of red wine every night and have done ever since I can remember are due to visit us for a few days (they live hours away so don't see us that often.)
They know of my decision, but that won't stop DF from bringing loads of wine with him, as its 'my problem' not his. Bearing in mind that when they've stayed before when I was on antibiotics and found it hard to stay off the booze, he still kept on in front of me, and said he'd go home if he couldn't have his wine.
I know I'm going to have to deal with people drinking in front of me sooner or later, and im prepared for that, but I'm worried about putting myself at risk of failing this early on. Would I be unreasonable just to ask them not to come for a few weeks? Or should I just pull up my big girl pants, grit my teeth and suck it up?
