Hello! Don’t feel like your alone especially if you read some of the stories on this site. Your situation is very much familiar to most people who post so good for you for reaching out. Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need telling that alcohol is a drug! and absolutely the worst drug available to humanity so using it on a regular basis is definitely a way of medicating. If your partner is at the stage of drinking more than twice a week it is proven that it’s a problem and hiding it is the signal for danger ⛔️ I know that this for a fact as my childhood was surrounded by sneaky alcoholics. He almost DEFINITELY has a problem and needs professional help and not just a talk around the dining table because alcohol has a grip stronger than any other drug. I’m not going to lecture you on when is a good time to have a child but alcohol is absolutely evil and don’t let the critics convince you otherwise. Yes, a little cheeky pint or glass of wine helps relieve the stress but so will cocaine, because cocaine is brilliant, but it will rob you of your life and unless you can control drugs then you will loose. I wish I could say it will be just a phase but it never is ???? having a drink and passing out is the point that you need professional guidance and how to address that is another question. I feel for you ????
