I didn't ask. He somehow figured out something was up by me being numb I guess. He asked me if I could stop drinking. I was so embarrassed I quit drinking and smoking by my next appointment. I returned to drinking after a while, I think he knows, doesn't seem to make a big deal out of it but maybe he is not aware of how much. I think I'm the same as you, I don't want to stop completely, I know I can drink in moderation, I can be ok with a glass of wine with dinner of some drinks occasionally but somehow it has become a way of coping with anxiety or just fixing my mood and be more pleasant around my H Maybe I should mention it again, I'm just afraid and ashamed.
