have been with my husband for 7 years, married for almost 4. When I first met him he struggled with opioid addiction but before we moved forward with a more serious relationship, he seeked help and overcame the addiction. We have spent the past 6 years happily as ever. We have endured a lot as a couple due to a lot of family issues etc and he did have a really tough upbringing. He has since made peace with his parents but I feel like it is still a underlying issue. For the past year and a half, he has been drinking. It started in early summer of 2016 after reconnecting with some family members and eventually led to a dui in November 2016. He has gradually started drinking more. Summer 2017 was the worst. He would drink up to a 12 pack of coors light and 2-3 nips of fireball whiskey. He owns a small lawn care company so his days are very flexible and he would often get done around 2pm. That’s when he would start drinking. 2pm till about 10pm and finish the coors and the fireball. Sometimes he even goes back out to the package store (after drinking) to get a 6 pack but doesn’t even usually drink it. He finally started a new job in November 2017 and it is a second shift. The drinking almost immediately stopped. He was happy with the job and I felt that it was a big help with him stopping the everyday drinking. Fast forward a month into the new job, he now began drinking on the days he had off. The usual 12 pack with fireball. Every single time. So now I have hardly seen him due to work schedule and now when he does have a day off, He’s drunk. He doesn’t think anything is wrong with it because it’s his “day off” When he is sober he is perfect, I love him to death and that is what’s getting in the way of me not knowing what to do. I really don’t know what to do. I feel like I am in a relationship with 2 different people. I do not want to give up but I do feel lost. I miss my husband.
