I struggle with this, too. Unfortunately, my family does not seem to mind my drinking. In fact my husband brought home a bottle of wine for me last night - just when I was thinking I should just shut off the spigot. Funny thing is, he is not a heavy drinker - able to drink socially with grace and common sense. I have spoken to him many time about my own fears, and he even supported me through a two year stretch of sobriety in AA. He always says he will be there whatever I decide I need to do, but he seems so relieved when I start thinking I can try to be a normal social drinker again. I think it is just hard for him to accept that there is anything wrong with me. Well, I did not crack open the bottle . . . Yet. I notice it is worse whenever I drink around my siblings (long history of alcoholism, dysfunction, and abuse). I just don't know what to do. I don't feel right about myself lately.
