Re: husband won't not drink at home to help me give up alcohol

Communication is everything, well done for discussing this with your husband further.  I highly recommend reading some of the books - it should help clarify all your reasons for slowing or stopping alcohol consumption.

Re: husband won't not drink at home to help me give up alcohol

If you think he’s being unreasonable, that’s what matters - he made a deal with you and he’s backtracked on it. I think this shows more about how much of a hold alcohol has on people, than your husband himself; and “Whatever” gives some great resources to read more about this - totally agree with Qu...

Re: Other half embarrassing in drink

I’m sorry to hear about your stress.  In case it’s helpful - I’m reading a book called The Alcohol Experiment by Annie Grace at the moment.  You can actually just go to www.thealcoholexperiment.com and get free access to the whole book online.  It’s a science backed good read - a friend recommended ...

So ensure that you always have carers/doctors speak to them directly, or acknowledge them in their conversations while they are there. I was amazed how many times...

Re: Are you a home carer or have a parent in a nursing home?

Hi, so sorry to hear about your father. We had a vaguely similar situation with my mother (82) in 2017. She had Alzheimers, had a few falls and ended up in hospital, then rehab. This was disorientating and confusing for her. The occupational therapists said her best chance was to get her home with m...

Re: Help! Where to find flattering shorts??

Gap has some longer length, depending on your height (I'm 5ft 6") you can google 9 or 10 inches "bermuda" which are longer in length. Lands End probably have them or LL Bean (US companies - based in UK). I'd have thought Boden would too. Ditto what the person above said about just hit...
