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.
I feel so sorry for you, I am Blondie, and my story is on line as well. I have just endured another evening/night with my husband sitting and drinking 12 pints of lager. I can feel my love dying slowly bit by bit every time he drinks to excess. I used to like a drink or 2, only socially a couple of times a week, but maybe have a glass of wine about once a month now. He had a mother who died of alcoholism at 68 and yet he still drinks and will not admit he has a problem. Do I leave,? to shock him. He is on meds for anxiety, stress and panic attacks and cannot see drinking makes the feelings worse and probably stops the meds working properly, he also refuses to tell the GP he is drinking, I am in despair.
I feel sorry for you, I had a mother addicted to alcohol, and have a similiar story to yours, except we had to cut all ties to remain sane, and now my husba nd is showing all the signs of alcohol abuse.
