To follow up on your last post: you can't make him find recovery either, and I know that's a frustrating part for us as partners. We can't control anyone else, as much as they can't control their drinking (for very long) on their own without help. Unfortunately, we also can't live their lives for them. If the environment is intolerable to you, you still have choices for YOU that can make whether he's drinking or not.

As for the NA beer. My AH tried that one. First he'd mix it with the real stuff and try to hide it from me. DUH, I totally have beer radar and can smell the real stuff a mile away, LOL. Then he just gave up and switched back to the real stuff. It didn't take long. He even complained recently that I have a 'problem' with the NA stuff and now he can't drink that either. Umm, I didn't say he could or he couldn't, I just told him that he can move out if he wants to drink that stuff because I know the path it leads to as evidenced by his past behaviors.
