The End or Just the Beginning? Part 3

[Lian]

I do not know if I was an alcoholic or not but I used to drink every day. When you are single and go out it is fine but then when we got married it caused problems. Every evening when I got home I drunk a little and even we were romantic she always said "You say it because you are drunk not because you really love me" . She also did not like the fact that I smoked.

When we started to have problems my behavior while drunk changed from silly to angry which did not help. After my daughter became 2 years old and my wife went away. I saw one day my daughter looking funny at the Jack Daniels bottle and someone told me ‘she knows you are drunk’. That done it.

I stopped drinking and quit smoking more than a year ago. However my wife said it is too late and does not care much but I did it more for my daughter than for her.
