a bit of info
My AH had a drinking problem for several years but had it under some control and then all of a sudden he went completely downhill really fast. It's been about a year since he was at his worst and he recently told me what he think happened. He broke his hand skiing and was given vicodan for pain and he says he got addicted to it. Whenever he came off of it he went back and told the doctor how much pain he was still in so he could get more. And on top of that he mixed with alcohol. I would not wish what I went through with him on anyone. I'm not trying to scare you, just want you to be aware of the possible consequences. You sound like you understand and say you'll talk to your husband. I encourage that highly. My AH always told me he tells doctors he's an A but I don't believe he really does.
Good luck to you.
