I think my partner is a functioning alcoholic. I have been with him 20 years, alcohol, sport and his mates take the main stage. We have 2 teenage boys. He doesn’t drink every night, but will have mega sessions, usually sport related. He has blackouts, is unpredictable, has no filter but choses not to give up alcohol. I have asked him to reduce, but not give up. He cannot see what he does messes up his relationships with us, and some others. He is not physically abusive. I know there is no answer but I just wanted to be honest on this forum. I hate what he does, but chose not to leave due to the children, home and my own lack of coping strategies. I feel weak and sad.
