Welcome Pauline.....I too am sorry for your situation and like you I was married to an alcoholic for a very long period of time and no they can't just slow down or cut down their intake amount as much as they may want to or say that they can. Thats why in AA teaches them that even 1 drink will trigger a serious binge. My XAH admitted to being an alcoholic but also in the same breath refused to go to rehab and promptly left our family. His choice. I had choices also and I chose not to stay involved with his problem. It was difficult I won't lie there because we all love our addicts BUT it does get better over time hun. Alot of time. Until he embraces sobriety you will experience more of what you already have today. Nothing changes if nothing changes....take care and please keep coming back ok.
