Im sorry

I know how you are feeling. I was there and yes my husband said he would never ever go to a meeting! He quit for a few months at a time and would always somehow end up with the same conclusion "Oh I can handle a few beers" Which of course was never the case..once he had one he couldn't stop. Theirs really not much you can do for him I mean this is a choice he needs to make himself in order to be committed. I have always heard that in order for an addict to change his ways he needs to hit his rock bottom, unfortunately some of those bottoms can be very low. I have recently separated from mine in realization that he is negatively affecting our kids. He is now seeking treatment and I am proud of him but I still feel he has a long way. I wish you the best of luck and make sure your feelings are known! Make sure he knows that his drinking is affecting the marriage and family. I know you don't wanna pull that card but he needs to see that all is not well as most addicts want to think.
