“I feel like if you can get control of your desires and learn to let go, you're halfway there. It's very rare. And if your husband doesn't drink that much, just let him off the hook this one. But if you're with a spouse and they do drink a lot and you're sober, just punch them in the face, that's the only way to get through to them. No violence is never the answer, not even jokingly. According to the Buddhist book I was reading this morning, you can't even joke about that.”
