My experience with my binge drinking husband is that once he starts... he doesn't stop until he passes out or is physically removed from the premises. He blacks out and doesn't remember a thing, therefore for him these episodes are never really that bad or serious. For me, taking the focus off the alcoholic and on to myself is very difficult...because I still feel that HB is the root of all problems, I know that is flawed thinking, but it is my honest gut reaction to his drinking and the problems that always follows. Take care of yourself.
