[QUOTE=Emmyhe's going to drink himself to death. Should I let his family in England know, so they can come and do something if they want to, or do I just leave him to his own devices?

share your burden with his family, your friends, anybody you trust that loves you both. It is quite the load to carry and keeping this a secret enables him to keep his addiction going. (Protecting )
I kept my husband meth addiction secret for 3 years. DID NOT TELL A SOUL. It was very depressing and I felt alone and isolated from the world.
it is great that you have this board to share your feelings, but try to reach out to his family as well.
It may not solve anything, but what harm could it do anyways?? The more people onboard to over loving support the better.
Take care friend
