Sounds like to me that we are in the same boat. I found this site a few days ago and found a lifeline.
Over the last six months or so, I've web searched every topic you can think of to learn about alcoholism. I keep a collection of articles and a journal that I call my Booze book. That has helped me a lot. Some examples of searches are: physical effects of alcohol, alcoholic personality, symptoms of alcoholism, alcoholism and brain damage, alcoholism and families. And, whatever else you can think of.
I've read posts from every SR section related to alcohol. This really helping me to understand what I'm dealing with.
My husband doesn't "yet" have the health problems that your husband does but it's only a matter of time. At this point I have accepted there's not a dang thing I can do for my husband. But, I can take my life back and I've started doing that.
