'My mother-in-law brought alcohol to my alcoholic husband's family party - can I ask her not to?'

A woman has turned to the internet for advice after her mother-in-law brought alcohol to their home where her husband is a recovering alcoholic. The woman said that, to encourage her husband's sobriety, she ensured the house did not have any alcohol and keeps it stocked with non-alcoholic options.

In the post on website Mumsnet, she said: "We had a family party at our home recently and my mother-in-law bought a bottle of Prosecco for herself, knowing it would be a dry party and that my husband and his brother- her two sons are on wagon. Nobody said anything but my husband did admit it made him feel a bit 'weird and uncomfortable' having alcohol in the house."

The woman said that her husband was just over a year sober. She added: "He's doing amazingly and I'm so proud of him." She said her husband's sibling was also a recovering alcoholic but was much more recently sober.
