On Saturday Fireman and I decided to take a little trip to the beach - he is off work, DS is with his dad, and my coach gave me the time off so it seemed like a good opportunity to spend quality time and get to know each other.

The first day we went for a ride on the board walk and ran into one of his friends. Okay and so the drinking monster reared its ugly head. He drank almost two 6 packs. I was upset about it but said we are already here so I am just going to make the best of it and see what happens when he is left to his own devices. On Sunday we got up and had a great bike ride and breakfast. And they were having a concert on the beach. Some of the his friends were there and they all liked meeting me. But the same thing again - they drank a lot. I lost count. And I cannot believe someone could look so sober and function after that much to drink.

IN a way it is disappointing because there are so many qualities I like about him. And I know he is into me and only wants to date me. But this is one of those things out of our control. So I have to let him know that this is not going to work out for me. I cannot be with a drinker.

& SO typical ... here you are in a BRAND NEW sexual realationship, which should (or is usually) the most exciting time for SEX ... & yet here he is passing out instead of having sex AND being to hung over in the morning to think about it. Yep. Thats life with an alcoholic.

I hope he takes it well & who knows ... MAYBE (although knowing alcoholics, its WONT) it will spur him into realizing he has a problem & he will get help for it.
