      Hi, my husband like your drank to unwind after work and ended up doing about 17 pints – he always believed that he could control his drink and he just had his 3rd detox- and yet again having been away with friends who promised not to let him drink he’s back drinking just found yet another empty crate in the garage.
      Hope this email finds you in a better position than I am – believe me suggest he doesn’t ever drink again and change your lifestyle

      After two detoxes my husband was dry for 16 months,almost to the day. It was so good to have him back but then he thought he could handle the odd one too. Now he is back to drinking almost every day. Not as much as I have read others do but enough to change his personality from a loving, caring, thoughtful man to an aggressive, rude, insulting,hand wielding monster. To make things worse, I believe a GP told him he would be ok having the occasional drink? ! NO NO it doesn’t work. He was ok with others drinking around him, even encouraged it, but I don’t know what the trigger was but we are back to square one and he doesn’t think he has a problem. I wish you luck.

      This was like reading mt story, (Blondie). The despair I feel I cannot explain. I want to just run away, every activity, on holiday or going out has to end in a “few beers ” and then of course he buys some on the way home and carries on. An alcholic mother, uncle and grandfather didnt help his view on anchohol I guess. After 19 years together, I know it is alcohol causing his problems with work mental health etc and them causing him to drink. This is whjat he cannot see, he says his “enjoys” drinking so why shouldnt he do it. ? I hope your problerm gets resolved. I cannot ever see my husband stop drinking.
