Welcome gbanon;

Alcoholism is progressive, so this very likely is as "good" as it will get and as you are
seeing for yourself, it gets worse pretty quickly as the disease progresses.
Please read the stickys at the top of the page here in Friends and Family of As to learn
more about what you are facing.

Only you can decide what is best for you, but if you feel you can't live with it right now, perhaps you could move, or have him move, until you see if he is serious about recovery and stopping.

By the way, medicine alone will not do it in my opinion--not drinking and recovery are
not the same. As a former Alcoholic myself, I really know that is true.

My only strong "advice" here is to listen to your gut and act on it.
If you think you should leave, you most likely should.
Sometimes that's the thing that let's the addict know he'd better shape up,
but leaving is what you need to do for you.

Please read about codependency as living with this all these years has
affected you also in ways you may not realize.

Keep posting and I hope things work out for the best for both of you.
