My husband has been patiently by my side while I've been struggling with my drinking. He doesn't know what to do to help, or how he should act. Mostly he acts as if there is nothing wrong---he's a big avoider. If we talk about it he just says he doesn't understand why I can't just stop, or just have one drink and that be enough.

I thought this might be an appropriate place to ask for your advice on how I can help him understand. I am sure I have hurt him in some ways, but he never tells me anything. I don't know if he even realizes it himself.

What would any of you suggest? He would probably read a book if I could get him one, but which one? Any other ideas?

Thank you so much.
