Hi Jumpinjacks
Welcome to SR
I am a binge drinker. No matter how much my hubby would address my drinking, I saw no problem with it... in fact it made me drink more... and I hurt him a lot - a real lot...with outrageous behaviour...that I recall nothing of...
With my last binge, I landed up in hospital and decided that I need to quit - I have children and this greatly influenced my decision too. Without them, I doubt I would have quit....
All I can say, is that he will quit when he is ready... there is nothing you can do to change his drinking...
In the meantime though, I don't think you should hang around and allow yourself to get hurt - because as long as he is drinking, you can expect to get hurt.
If you decide to stay, then please get yourself as much support as you can so that you do not feel alone.
SR has been my saving grace - the support here has been out of this world. I go to the chat room all the time so I don't feel alone.
Keep coming to SR whenever you feel alone.
Hugs
