Bacardi weekend

[clam happy]

On the way home from work Friday evening, I stopped to buy a fifth of Bacardi light. Between that evening and about ten minutes ago, I drank the entire bottle. When my wife was about, I made proper cuba libres. When she wasn't, I drank from the bottle.

I posted in April about my problem. Since then I had drunk less, and my wife had it out with me one day and told me "I know you're drinking, just quit trying to hide it from me." She is a forgiving woman. But somehow I think that pouring a few rum & cokes in the open, then chugging from the bottle when her back is turned, is some obtuse kind of hypocrisy, and it is lying to her.

I love her deeply and she deserves better.

Thanks for listening. Your thoughts are welcome.
