      Would he go to an aa meeting? You can go on them on zoom. He doesn’t have to share anything but even just logging on is a good first step.

      I’ve been trying to get him to give it a go but his is convinced it wont help, he is getting more and more depressed l, trying in vain to get him to see a doctor.

      So sorry to hear you are going though this as my other half lost his dad which kickstarting his drinking along with a stressful job.

      I know how you feel too as I also have children involved and find it all too much sometimes.

      I can’t bear seeing cans etc and feel so angry when I see them piled up ????????‍♀️

        Yes the pile ups, but won’t throw them away themselves. Unfortunately he ended up having another fit, currently in hospital, says he is definitely done this time.

      Oh no!!! I really hope things improve for you.

      My other half stopped for a year but started again and back to 6-10 beers a night ????

      Oh no Sorry to hear that, any chance of him going AA? My husband is going to get tablets that stop the craving, think they are only available from certain organisations/ help groups

      Out of hospital and straight back on the booze. ????

      His been told next time he ends up in hospital he will just go right to rehab. The doctors said they have referred him to a a support group and could be 5 days before the contact, I said if you are struggling now reach out first.
