Will understand if I get judged. Just need some perspective. At 11am I started drinking wine. I had 2 glasses then I had a cocktail can. DH came home (he took DC out for the morning) and has gone mad that I am “tipsy” Said he thinks I have a problem and I need to sort my head out. Throwing out that I have an alcoholic brother and I’m like him (I’m not)

I don’t wake up “needing a drink” I think I could go without a drink all week. It’s just the feeling of being tipsy I crave. It’s a nice feeling and makes me happier. Makes me be able to deal with things better. Puts me in a good mood.

Anyway we’ve had a massive row and I’ve left the house. Currently out walking to get away from him.

Feel so upset

I sympathise OP definitely. However I feel that drinking what you describe at 11am to feel tipsy is a red flag. I am the child of a mum who used to do this and it’s not pleasant for a child to see their mum drinking - or even if they don’t see their mum actually drinking to know their mum is drinking

but it’s a good thing you got away from the house to get perspective ❤️
