OK.....they have been sober for a few years and all of a sudden you suspect they are drinking again. What do you do? Confront them? Let them know that you suspect them drinking? But what IF..they are not!
Our suspiscions are usually correct so I would certainly say something, not in a demeaning way, but ask about it.
I would ask. ANd like you said...in not a demeaning way. I'd say somethign like...I know you very well and I can tell when something is different with you. Is there anything you might want to talk about or tell me?
My experience, asking "are you drinking? jsut sets myself up to hear a LIE. LIN
