Yes, it has become an obsession. Just as his drinking is his obsession. He is not a child. It is NOT up to you to control him. Besides, you're not reading what I've said. You're misusing antabuse and making it inevitable for him to relapse. You are actually making it worse. It's a psychological tool and unless you let him take control of taking it, he will continue to relapse.
Antabuse doesn't magically make a wall appear when he tries to drink. It's just to scare them by making it potentially fatal to drink - WHILE THEY GET THEIR HEADS SORTED.
Putting it in his food is not going to stop him drinking. It's going to kill him. Then you'll still lose your house and you'll lose your husband more surely than if he keeps drinking.
