My husband, before we got married, last October did confide that he was a recovering alcoholic. I guess I did not understand exactly what that meant until recently. We got married on 10/31/2011. In January, I thought he was having a stroke, but right as I was about to call 911 he confessed he had just guzzled a bottle of vodka, thus the slurring and stumbling. There have been many more incidents since then like this one. He has even been to some AA meetings to try to appease me. Last Saturday he was drunk before 1030 in the morning. He had went out to buy donuts, and guzzled a bottle of tequilla on the way home. He tried to lie and tell me some melatonin made him do all that. Then he went to drive himself to get something to eat. Later during the week, sober this time, he got mad at MY 5 year old and slap him on the leg pretty hard. This weekend was the straw that broke the camel's back. Me and my mother went out of town together, and he promised me he would not drink, since the previous week had been pretty bad. When I got home he was trying to change a spare tire, and when he spoke his speech was slurred. He said he had taken his Xanax and that it made him do it. When I went into our room to unpack, I noticed glitter all over our floor, then I saw all the knick knacks on my bookshelf were broke, and everything was askew. I also noticed our dresser was all crazy and pushed into the wall, and the aquarium was on the edge of the dresser. I asked him about this and he denied knowing anything about it. Well I told him that he needed to come look, because if he did it, then one of his teenage daughters had been in our room. Well finally he fessed up he had been drinking and he woke up and there was a mess, and he doesnt remember anything. He stated his nose was broke, he had bumps on the back of his head, and his face was all scratched up and he didn't remember anything. I went and spoke with his 16 year old, who has Aspbergers, and she states that he was out of his mind, he fell face first on hearth of fireplace, he fell off of the couch several times, he tried to put on a tank top in the dryer like it was pants, he kept walking into walls and he left the house in his car twice. Folks, this was enough for me. I know its supposed to be through thick and thin but I cannot raise my 5 year old like this. He has made several promises to me about getting help, and only does it for a day or so. Don't get me wrong, he is not verbally abusive, or physically abusive, and he's been a good husband except for this. My sanity is shot. My son and I moved to my parents last night, and I am looking for a place for us. I just had to vent.

I was sleeved on 06/12/12, and sometimes it feels like my stomach is eating itself.

What's Coldwater Creek?

I love the blue bell bullet sf Popsicles. Yum.

I love cake too.

You look great,

From 228 last week to 222 this week. My Labor Day Challenge goal weight was 225, so I made my goal. Now I'm hoping I can drop the 2lbs and weigh 220 by Labor Day

Sugar free Popsicles

I'm not a doctor, but I believe yours is wrong about this. I believe your loss will not be limited to an 80lbs. If you have done any reading on here you will see plenty of people who have lost more than 80lbs.

53lbs lost since 06/12/12

I'm a hot wing addict now...but there is no way I can eat 4, only 3 will fit.

I was self pay. I opted for borrowing from my credit union to have my surgery done locally instead of in Mexico. Honestly, after my initial consultation all I had to do was pick my surgery date, no waiting, no hoops.

I take flintstone chewables.

I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday. It's also my wedding anniversary.

Lol, that's how they are at our little water park in town.

Congratulations Phillip ! I'm sure you will not regret this surgery. I can't wait to see your progress! Welcome!

It's supposed to reduce you're recovery time. Also, I was told it makes you more prone to ulcers, which isn't nice in your small stomache. I've been smoking for 17 years. I quit a month before my surgery, and am coming up on my 4th month of being smoke free. It's been so hard to overcome. But I do feel so much better.

Hot wings are my new favorite food. My sleeve holds three of them.
