Controversial I know
But I think the odd glass of wine would calm him down, cheer him up and make him feel less like a prisoner
Can you imagine him telling her he will leave if she drinks another drop
I know full well that alcoholism is a “different kettle of ball games” but his life seems cushy but truly miserable at the same time, it’s like he’s in jail
I know people his age who are practicing alcoholics and they aren’t as miserable as him
Give the fella a few baileys ffs it’s near Christmas he couldn’t be in a worse state than he is now.
He lusts after the stuff, talks about it constantly if she said ok then he’d be necking it.
If it was me I’d rather die happy instead of that continual moping about face like a wet weekend
He’s probably gonna die anyway of the stress of not having it
Sorry if this offends anyone with alcoholism in their family
It’s just like Catchphrase ….. say what you see

If he started drinking again I don't think he would go to pubs ect it would just be at home anyway ...come on Mark get back on it ( sorry if it offends anyone)

I think he's secretly drinking anyway but come out the closet Mark and don't hide it no more

Your post hasn't offended me in the slightest.

I genuinely struggle to understand his constant need to mention alcohol. The rambling posts, the pictures, what is he trying to do?
I have real empathy for anyone in recovery, but sadly i just don't feel that for him. He's playing people for fools and it all smacks of attention seeking and i'm not buying any of it.

I don’t believe he’s sober, he talks about alcohol that much he can’t possibly be tee total. No other sober person I’ve ever met is as obsessed as he is, only those who still use alcohol go on like he does.
ex drug addicts don’t take pictures of themselves hugging joints, ex sex addicts don’t take pictures of themselves hugging sex workers, etc etc…. You get the picture.

if I were a recovering addict he is the LAST person I’d want around me, he would drive anyone to relapse.

I agree, I have made the Nigella version too, and it is lovely. I now put the oranges in the microwave to shorten the time

I really don't think full on abstinence is the way to live with alcoholism (unless for medical reasons, e.g. liver on its last legs). He could have 3 or 4 beers at social occasions and have Nitty remove all access to other alcohol for him after that. Three glasses of wine of an evening, a couple of nights a week, if he starts drinking later in the evening, he will naturally fall asleep after a few glasses.

He seems to really miss the social and enjoyable element of drinking. He also seems to be replacing alcohol with another drug, caffeine.

I have to share as I’m still traumatised. Last night I had a sex dream about Mank
I was in that grotty bedroom of theirs and we heard Nitty come home.
She wasn’t bothered in the slightest.

I’ve scrubbed myself clean this morning and have decided never to go to sleep again. I can’t risk it

I don't know many who were previously alcoholics, but the ones I know just basically act like it doesn't exist. It's not an option for them. It doesn't belong in their lives anymore, and it's like they're just not interested. It would worry me if someone was soooo interested in it. Like I know I don't even think about it myself usually, unless someone offers me a glass.

yes most people with long years of sobriety say that its the best thing they ever did, and change their lives, him, 17 years later still acts as though he has only just stopped. he just cannot get over that he has had to stop

Three or four drinks is never an option for an alcoholic. They'll start having more somehow or other no matter how many precautions are taken. Sneaking a bottle of spirits into the home and having a sneaky swig of that along with the beer etc. It just doesn't work for an alcy to have one or two.

I think they're stuck in a relationship with emotional blackmail. She'll leave if he ever drinks and he'll do harm to himself if she ever leaves. He mentions alcohol all the time, in my opinion, to remind her of all he's given up because 'he loves her so much'. That's why he has to continually say how much fun he had when drinking - she took all his fun away. Couldn't give it up for his children but gave it up for her. Not buying that. He, like all addicts, gave it up for himself which is the only way. At the stage he gave up alcohol he had three kids by three women (the third being Nadia) and he wasn't making any way near enough to support them and himself. He'd also had a fright through his drunk driving. He gave up alcohol to keep her, not because of some overwhelming love, but because he knew the likelihood of meeting someone else who'd take a fella with three kids in three different homes was extremely unlikely. I also think he liked that she was a 'celebrity' and knew he could live off her. I'm not saying they don't love each other, pretty sure they do, but it's a very unhealthy set-up.

Has Ashley had his begging bowl out for the birthday presents yet?
Yeah, something nice for them to chuck into a corner of their tip of a garden Oh, and I DO hope he makes an IG post gushing about qualities that Mark doesn't possess as though he had swallowed and shat out a thesaurus

It’s Nadia’s birthday tomorrow, I’m looking forward to slagging off his fake over the top insta essay that he’ll write for everyone else’s benefit.

Omg, me too. Over egging the pudding to desperately try to convince his audience, and to compensate for the fact he doesn't believe any of the things he's saying he's so obvious!

"To my funny, smelly, curly, shiny, scaly, fluffy, itchy, spongy, crumbly, cold, warm, moist, dry wife.... you are the pine to my forest and the carpet to my footwell"

Or words to that effect
