need help for an advice

I decided to join recovery support coz I am in a relationship with an alcoholic person and drug addict. I am not fully aware if it is addiction because he always have drink and smoking every single night.
I love him that I am willing him to change. I just don't know if this will help in our relationship.
I hope to hear some advice to anyone who understand more than I do.
thank u for hearing me out.

I was the addict, my wife is sober.

I somehow managed for about 15 years.

She never left me.

I worked the whole time, paid bills, vacationed.....did everything.

I was just drunk pretty much the whole time.

She let me be. I finally quit recently. Things are better.

It will depend on how you and your partner deal w the addiction.

If you fight a lot, if he likes to drive while loaded etc.

My wife is very religious. I am pretty sure she prayed for me all the time.

Hi and welcome.
In addition to the Friends and Family Forum I suggest attending Al Anon meetings in your area for support.

BE WELL
