Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my drinking problem became apparent when my daughter asked for a glass of juice, and I instinctively poured a large glass of scotch instead. FML
Today, I caught my dad sneaking a drink of whiskey outside, shortly before my wedding. I asked if he was seriously getting drunk at a time like this. He looked at me and scoffed, "It's the only way I'm gonna get through this stupid shit." FML
Today, my husband and I woke up to see my drunk mother passed out on our couch. She was wearing nothing but socks. FML
Today, I had my first glass of red wine after months of pregnancy and giving birth. Just as I sat down and started to relax, I spilled it all over myself and my in-law’s couch. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend of two years expressing my feelings for her. She responded with, "I'm going to bed." FML
Today, I accidentally threw a glass of iced tea in my own face, because the restaurant I'd been going to for over a decade switched from heavy glass mugs to identical light-as-a-feather plastic mugs. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak out of work early and pay a little visit to the pub. I ended up staggering home, drunkenly making myself a nacho cheese dorito milkshake with the blender, then promptly puked my guts out all over the kitchen table. FML
Today, while my husband and I were arguing, he walked away in the middle of my sentence yelling, "Remember babe, you're only my current wife!" FML
Today, I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle. While I was drinking alone in my basement. FML
Today, my husband recorded me getting out of bed and sleepwalking all the way into the backyard and straight into our pool. He was too busy giggling like a schoolgirl to help me out. FML

Don't live with an alcoholic. It ruins your mental health. She gets help or you get a divorce. Don't pretend it'll be ok because it won't.

I don’t usually comment. But I can tell you from experience. An alcoholic will only stop when they’re ready to do it for themselves. It’s a very sad way to live. I pray for you and your wife.

Also, there are support groups for spouses, friends, and family of alcoholics. You may want to try Al-Anon. These groups are everywhere, and you can likely find one in your area. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Well now you have some thinking to do, and if you are the legal husband you can in most places force your married spouse into rehab. but if she's unwilling to get sober time to pack your shit and go cuz trust me that's going to get much worse and possibly you'll end up in jail for it.
