No Where to Turn..

Hi I am currently trying to come to terms with the fact that my husband, of only 3 months, is an alcoholic. I always knew he had been a heavy drinker, but 3 dates into out relationship, he became critically ill, so had not had a drink for 16 months. Following a life saving procedure in Feb, he started having the odd drink, but nothing that caused me concern...6 months on & he's constantly drunk for weeks at a time, drinking all day & all night, empty bottles hidden. I am at a complete loss, it's a side of him I never knew existed! He's not violent but he is verbally threatening, nasty, angry, argumentative. He won't even consider counselling, says he'll deal with "things" his way...& I have no concept of what goes on in his head. I've pleaded, begged...I can't reach him...

I'm sorry for your situation.

AlAnon could be a good support for you.
