Hello ticktock, Welcome!

You are definitely in a place where folks understand. Well, the good news is that at least he occasionally recognizes he has a problem, but it sadly does not sound as though he is ready to stop. And really, unless and until he is ready to obtain and maintain sobriety, he will keep drinking.

One thing I have learned is that drinking is often a progressive disease with a wide spectrum of "drinking styles" from binge to daily. I hope that you can get some support for yourself, too. As someone has already pointed out, we do have a sub-forum specifically for the Friends and Family Members of someone in active addiction. You can also begin to see a counselor of your own to help navigate all this. And SR is open 24/7!!

I am glad you found us, but so sorry for the reasons why. Welcome, again!
