[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 496806, member: 2315"] This weekend was the first time we even got to toast the New year. husband and I have been dry since the beginning of Nov. We do not drink much at all anyway so it was not a big deal. we might share a bottle of wine over the course of a weekend every two-three months or so. We did have a couple of giggles over our predicament but it really is an inconvience. I told husband that I didn't like drrinking wine under the gun. Iike to nurse mine for a couple of hours. LOL I guess I do kinda resent it. We went two years without liquor inthe house for difficult child and the one time we had wine at a holiday function (one bottle split amoung 6 adults) he went to his case worker and told themthat we were all drunk in front of him. She called me and reamed me out. difficult child was supossedly sober 8 months at the time and it should not have been an issue at all. This time husband and I decided we did,t want to do do without entirely so we came up with this sneaky plan. Honestly though it takes alot of the pleasure out of sharing a nice glass of wine with husband by the fireplace on a cold afternoon. We have to watch the clock and make sure the glasses are washed and put away within the hour and ten minutes we have free of easy child/difficult child's presence. This is hard for me since I like to sip slowly and it usually takes me much longer than an hour to drink a glass. I ended up throwing a good bit of it down the drain. This was a normal sized glass (6oz filled 2/3 the way up) not one of thouse huge fishbowl type goblets. I told husband that next time he should only give me a quarter of a glass. [/QUOTE]
