KK,
Welcome and glad you found us. First off, good for you for doing something for you, by moving out of the bedroom. Codies come on this forum looking for that piece of paper on "how to get our addict clean and live happily ever after".... but the problem is, is that paper doesn't exist. We are only in control of ourselves and fix the way we do things.

First off, You have to understand that he doesn't have a problem with his drinking, you do. So it really isn't his problem to fix, it is yours. So what are you going to do about your problem?? Education is power when you are dealing with an addict. There is alanon and open aa meetings, there is addiction therapists and there are stickies on the top of this page. If you spend the time and work on yourself, you will find the strength to do what you need to do. It is very overwhelming trying to understand the mind of an addict. As Pj (PhoenixJ) said addicts make terrible partners.

Hang in there, keep posting and asking questions. We have all been there. Hugs!!
