Yep, that was mine. I watched him *do nothing* for 5 years. Well, that's not true; he finished a whole bunch of useless videogames. Makes a great epitath don't you think?

Because as much as he is addicted to his alcohol, you are addicted to him. He is your fix, your drug of choice, so you can feel good/useful/needed. You'll probably need to figure out a strategy to wean yourself out of the habit of "saving" him (i.e. go no contact, if at all possible).

You leave when you are ready, when you've had enough, and when it's plainly obvious to you that staying with him is far worse than leaving him. The *how* will slowly fall into place once the decision is made. Until then, we're here for you
