needing strength
It's been 9 yrs and still no change. My DH is 34 and has been drinking since he was 13. His parents are (were ) addicts, his Father passed in his 40's and his mother is an AA aholic. she is toxic to him and when they talk he drinks more. He drinks beer 24/7 an 18 pack and hides shots of vodka or captain morgan under the couch or in jackets. He wakes at 3 or 4 am and has beers before work he then comes home to drink and watch TV or play games online. We have 4 kids 3 are mine ages 16, 12, 11 and our child together is 1. I'm at my wits end with this, "I'll quit I promise" nonsense. It's BS! I've been supportive this whole time and I just want to take the easy way and dip. But I've put my older kids through a divorce already and don't want to hurt them.....he's not abusive to us but alcohol is his LOVE. And we are on the sidelines. I'm so glad I've found this site. It's nice to see im not alone.
