This sounds just like my AH! I've suggested going to a counselor but he feels the same way about individual counseling. I don't know of any alternatives. AH still believes he can control his drinking on his own. Currently he is limiting himself to one 6 pack per week, this has been for the last 3 weeks, but he has done this before. Eventually he returns to his old habits of drinking to excess several nights per week. Your AH may think the breathalizer will help him control his drinking but I doubt it will help.

Take care of yourself and your kids. Talk to a counselor or go to Alanon. Educate yourself about alcoholism. I know that doing this has helped me and I am feeling better about my life.
