Today, my husband, who's a recovering alcoholic, and I are on holiday with our kids. He's decided he can have a few drinks because he deserves "a holiday too". He doesn't see why this should ruin ours. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

What a way to ruin an holiday. Drinking isn't an "holiday" while you're on holiday. Try taking his money off him :)

I'm an idiot? Where's the capital letter on "idiot", seeing as you used a capital letter before the word.

Hes a recovering Alchoholic, and he wants to have some 'drinks' as a holiday. Youre telling me you dont realize the issue in this?

#3199737 - Monday 29 August 2011 04:04

Why isn't it? Being drunk turns you aggressive towards your kids and family. You wouldn't want to be on holiday with a drunken father constantly abusing you, would you?

#3200702 - Monday 29 August 2011 07:31

There's a reason why he's an alcoholic, obv he abuses drinking. Now his family is going to have to babysit him...not fun

9 Maybe you should know your facts first. Not all alcoholics are abusive. I'm not defending him. I'm just stating facts.

65. Read the last sentence of your comment, you said 'abusive'....

#3203598 - Tuesday 30 August 2011 06:38

Not all drunks are aggressive either. I've been told that I get rather passive and my fiancee gets very flirty when she's drunk.

Yeah, drunk people turn aggressive and abusive.

It's funny because all the comments that said fail got thumbed down. So wouldn't that be a fail too?

Have you even tried talking with him about this? Unless he's a complete idiot, I'm sure he'll understand?

Saraahx97 | 0

#4228342 - Wednesday 28 March 2012 07:26

No he wouldn't, most alcoholics are in denial and would pick alcohol over their family.

My dad has been in the hospital once because of his drinking, and he was arrested once for hitting my mom while under the influence and that hasn't stopped him from drinking... If that won't stop him then I doubt talking to him will.

By MissMae93 | 23

#3199818 - Monday 29 August 2011 04:21

@amit93 - If you're going to bash someone's comment, you should probably use spellcheck next time. I believe it is you who is the SERIOUS fail. @OP - Sit him down and carefully explain that even one drink can cause a relapse. If he begs to differ, you may need to take action and let him know if you notice his drinking habits coming back, rehab will be in his future.

Pendragon525 | 0

#3200969 - Monday 29 August 2011 08:24

If he's truly in recovery, he should know by now he can't have a "holiday" from his addiction & that there is no such thing as " just 1 drink." I don't think his "recovery" has been genuine.

By laideehawk | 6

#3199835 - Monday 29 August 2011 04:24

It's obvious he cares more about himself than his family and what they'll go through if he starts drinking again. How on Earth can a "recovering" alcoholic justify drinking as a holiday? Once he starts again, he won't stop. Fyl, op.
