My girlfriend called me an alcoholic this morning
i wouldn’t really say she’s wrong. But hearing that wasn’t something I could handle well. I offered to try and stop entirely, but then she thinks if I do that we won’t be able to do anything on weekends. I usually know my limits. But other times it’s so hard to stop once of been going. I don’t know what I should do

Wow .......that is a lot to take in ... she thinks you have a problem that is serious .......but is not sure you should quit because of her social life ......or yours?
Is she embarrassed or something that you are facing you may have an issue and want to deal with it.
It is a pain, when you are in recovery...and many who know they can not really stop at one or two.
When going out ..alcohol is many places ....
my spouse is recovering and every restaurant loves people to have a few with dinner adds to bill and often is a big money maker. parties/ social hours/ even going over to other peoples houses they offer up a drink...... when someone says can i buy you a drink .... not meaning a lemonade or coffee.
You can find ways to work around NOT drinking without sharing your issue.......it is no one else business ....
