The sad truth is that these are not two different people, just two sides to the same man. You cannot separate one from the other.

If you can live with, accept him, love him exactly as he is right now, drunk and all--great!

However, it does not sound as though you can accept the drinking side of him (and I certainly don't blame you).

I'm sorry to hear that you have gone through so much. You deserve peace and joy!
