new to the forum but not new to alcoholism.
Hi everyone
Glad I found this site. I have been around alcohol ever since I can remember. I currently don't drink and have been sober this time for almost 8 years. I stopped cold turkey again by not going to meetings but by sheer willpower and by not "romancing" the alcohol. I also almost drowned my horse as I used to drink and ride and decided to take him swimming....big wake up call. He is ok and we were lucky.
Drinking runs in my family and my mom, dad and several relatives have died of alcohol related diseases.
Currently I am really tired of my husband drinking around me all the time and then picking fights. He is also gaining weight with all the beer he drinks and this is making him insecure and jealous for no reason. He is getting meaner lately and I can't deal with his name calling if I walk away or disagree with him. I have left him before because of alcohol and pot. Since we got back together he will not let me live it down that I left him and blames me for all our problems. I know I am messed up but at least I am staying sober which is not easy. I am getting so I don't like him anymore. We have been together 30 years and it has been a struggle. The beer drinking is really getting to me as that's when he gets the most obnoxious.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome!
Sorry to hear about the problem you're having. To be honest, I was the same way your husband was with my last girlfriend. She left me and, to be honest, it was the best decision for her and in a way, for myself. Not sure how to give advice from your side of the fence, unfortunately.
