[QUOTE=wanttohelphim;2878655]Should I press him to tell me everything about his drinking.? He gets angry and says he doesn't know when I've asked the past few days.

The fact that he gets angry and doesn't want to discuss his drinking, even though he has drank himself to an inch of his life, means that he is in denial.

I watched my wife get the yellow eyes, the hepatitis, cirhosis, and almost die from falling down the stairs. She always gets angry when I want to talk about her drinking. She did 2 years sober and now she's drinking again, more than ever. It is very, very frustrating.

Keep reading these threads here at SR. Many of us have been dealing with alcoholic spouses for decades. I suggest going to Al-Anon, learn what detachment means, continue to seek help for yourself (counseling is a good idea), and of course pray.

Blessings...
