Most alcoholics are scared to let their loved ones know the extent of their problems, but generally (at least for me) it was no surprise to most that I had a drinking problem. Others seem to be in denial about my problem. My boyfriend is often in denial about the extent of my problem (he thinks I should just learn to stop at a couple drinks... he doesn't get it even though he has seen the destruction). Give your guy a chance to be supportive anyway - mine is and it has been a major aspect of my support system. He might surprise you
