pay attention to what they DO, not what they SAY.

alcoholics will blame you. this takes the heat off of them.

your man is not being honest with you. he would not have mentioned the hospital incident to you. he proved this by not mentioning it. how many other incidents are there that you are unaware of that he hasn't mentioned? in this case, the police informed you.

getting a DUI and drinking until you fall down and are hospitalized is serious drinking. you can expect more of the same.

you gave him a two week deadline and he comes back and says "oh, he didn't realize the two week deadline?" nonsense.

if you give a boundary, stick to it. they will walk all over our boundaries. say what you mean and then actually do it!

alcoholism is a progressive disease and it gets worse.
