Charlotte,

Just wanted to say welcome and that you've received some great advice. If your husband's drinking is a problem for you, then that's the issue you need to address with yourself and how you want to deal with it. You can't change him or his actions, and as long as he doesn't think there's a problem, he won't change.

I just wanted to stress again what Peter said about alcoholism being a progressive disease. My dad, who's a recovering alcoholic, started out with a few beers a night, which turned into a 6 pack a night, which turned into kool-aid w/vodka in it, then vodka w/a splash of kool-aid, and finally just straight vodka. As long as your husband continues to drink, his problem will get worse, not better.

We're here for you so keep coming back!

Hugs,
JG
