and I have been drinking to avoid thinking about the loss of my best friend, my mom.
the best advice i can offer is for you to focus on your drinking issues. we can't cajole or force others to change. but you can change you! for me attending AA helped me tremendously to stop and stay stopped. many of us found that pathway. i hope you'll consider going for yourself. im sorry for your loss but drinking won't fix that. it'll only make you more depressed when you drink since alcohol is a depressant.
if hubby continues to drink you don't have to.
here's a helpful link re meetings in your area
http://alcoholicsanonymous.9f.com/meetings.htm scroll down the page to your state. hope this helps.
