Pouring wine down the sink

The dude i live w is imo an alcoholic . He now on patch pain and got kicked off pills when somehow the clinic finally realized he was abusing them. Little did they know he was grinding snorting and overusing them. I wanted to tell them how bad he was but couldn't.

So today he wanted wine. I had wm substitute, not realizing it was a jumbo jug. Its been in the house 5 hrs him glugging it and almost empty. I just poured some down the drain. He isnt falling on the floor or knocking shit over. My mom was a drunk and this is very triggering for me. Hes 72 and i wonder how long he'll. Live

I'm not ok him causing me stress. I have pix of him falling over grabbing walls and nodding off on his opioid bender. Pix of him all over the floor drug out of his mind and pissed the floor. I don't know how he's still alive. I'm here to afford to live so i try to make it bearable by avoiding him. I can't take ppl who are impaired nodding off. A few times i thought hed od. Many times he looked dead. Feet would swell bad. I feel this is all his bad choices and don't want to get involved.

Was gonna sue the clinic for cold turkey. I told him if deposed, I'm dragging him thru the mud. 90s arrests for crack. Booze. That's he's a junkie and deserves to lose any case. He decided not to sue.

ETA I used to try to counsel and expressed concern abt his health and addictions, but he would scream at me. So, I gave up. But i used to try

Decisions. He just came out wanting another glass, but i poured it away. Hes had a gallon of wine in 6 hrs. Thats enough. I dont want any problems or falls or stress. Fuck him.

Hes still bitter about being cut off his pills. Ha ha
