What are good ways to hide alcohol abuse from a live in significant other?
Real answers only. Besides hiding bottles in car, going to far away liquor stores and bars?
Answers:
If the other cares and pays attention there is no way to hide it .
Most likely if you think you are getting away with it then the other is alsohiding something from you.
Just be who you are and if that is not enough then find another.
i think the best thing to do would be open about it. if its "significant" as in every day getting sloshed, you need help. i drink beer every day and i love getting buzzed, but i only go balls to the wall and get sloshed once a week or every other week.
i dont think hiding it will work long-term, or even short-term. sorry.
Gradually work on him so that he is drinking alot too. Chances are if he's drinking, he won't notice how much you drink.
In all honesty, it is better to leave them and continue to do what you want, or to clean up and get sober. Hiding anything in a relationship will only destroy it eventually, so you have to come clean and get help or leave and heal yourself on your own schedule and not hurt your other.
I used to hide alcohol use, I don't think I had a problem, my ex just didn't want me to drink and I wanted to. It was a long, sucky time until I finally left. Now it has been three years and I am living my own life....and somehow am not a raging alcoholic mess even without her controlling me. In fact I am happier and more successful, and in a good relationship where we can share a bottle of wine with dinner or go out and party on the weekend.
That said, you said "abuse" which indicates you believe you have a problem....if that is the case get some help. Only you can decide when you are ready, and only you can heal yourself when you are.
i definitely don't agree with hiding alcohol abuse - you can't care too much about your significant other if you are consciously considering lying to them about something you can change!
first of all, don't hide it. Open up to your partner and let him/her know whats going on. If its actual abuse, you need help. Your partner may be able to help get it for you and will be there to support you.
You could drink only Vodca so you don't reek of alcohol and then stay drunk all the time so you stay in character by not being caught sober. Vodca with cranberry juice, orange juice or grapefruit juice for breakfast won't look suspicious. Not too good for the brain cells though...
You May Have A Problem..!! Slow Down, Realize what you have to lose. I have been there and done it. I lost a six year relationship over this crap. You have to realize that you are a good person who may have a problem, a disease. If you need to drink save it for the weekend where it belongs. Take care of yourself for a change, and enjoy life; you only get one.
Good Luck....
you can't.
you can use every trick in the book, but you'll find the more you think you're getting away with it, the more you will drink. eventually you will either trip up and get caught, or it will just be so obvious.
trust me, fess up or clean up. if not, you're only prolonging the inevitable, and the longer you prolong it, the worse it's going to crash down on you.
Are you abusing alcohol, or are you worried that your significant other is, and is trying to hide it?
Slam down a six-pack on the way home from work. Chew some gum. Have two drinks after you get home. Then you'll seem a responsible drinker who's just a lightweight.
