I am sorry to tell you that he is not going to make it to March. He's already made the decision to drink. Once that's over with, why wait until March? It will be sooner rather than later. Please make arrangements to get yourself to a safe place when it happens.
You may be right. But here is the unique thing about my husband as an alcoholic. When I drank, I lost total control and needed to drink. I will admit he seems to have more control than I did, although he can get very belligerent and almost violent when he drinks too much, something I was not.
My husband knows that he cannot drink around me, zero tolerance. So if he does choose to drink before March, it won't be around me, and it most likely won't be that much because he has no access to money. I have all access to our money because he is a spendthrift and knows it and accepts it. He would have to get beer from other people or at work, and if he does, it probably won't be to an extent that will make him belligerent.
