I'm furious but I've also seen the light

My drinking has spiralled.. mostly because I'm unhappy and my marriage is bloody awful and things most definitely have to change. The iron is I never used to drink!! 🥴 fast forward 3 years and I can polish off a bottle of wine in one sitting per night! More if it's there.. Yesterday my H went shopping and decided to buy Prosecco x 2 bottles and 2 bottles of red. I'd specifically asked him not to bring more alcohol into the house that morning.. 'oh tonight is the jubilee night then we will stop'... here I am with my Pepsi max and he's cracked on the last bottle of red for himself this evening. I'm pissed off, I'd really hoped he'd support me (he knows I need to stop).. as does he!! He hasn't offered me a glass, his agenda is purely to keep that bottle all to himself and drink the lot quickly. Crack on pal.. selfish as ever, unsupportive as ever, I could go on. I pledged to do 100 days AF and today I'm more determined than ever. 🙌

But he is supportive as you don't want to drink do you?

Yeah I guess you could look at it that way, personally knowing him like I do.. I don't. I don't want to drink wine this evening, yesterday he also pledged that would be the last time yet here we are him downing a bottle before the evening meal is even served.
