I know exactly how you feel. My AH hides it yet it’s so obvious. Working from home has made it a lot worse, he’ll gulp wine from the bottle at 7am that he hides in the cushion store out in the garden.
He recently had blood tests to check liver function and where the reading should be 40 his was 600! He is very close to be being referred to hospital. He tried home detox but has fallen back into his old ways which are escalating.
I’ve read up on enabling which I am trying not to do. I’m not shouting at him when hes drunk as he won’t remember the next day.
I’m worried he’ll lose his job if they think he’s been drinking or that I’ll find him dead in the morning from alcohol poisoning. He’s got thin, muscle wasting, bruising and I can see yellow in his eye’s (where they should be white).
I contacted turning point again and unless he is willing to contact them or the GP there is nothing else that can be done.
That is what has led me to this forum, I’ve been told to get support for myself.
I feel exactly the same. I worry he won’t wake up in the morning. My AH recently became depressed and rang the samaritans and then decided he would go to turning point and go to detox. He had a blood test and we were shocked and the harmful levels in his blood which showed inflamation of the liver. They said if it got worse then he would be sent to the hospital. He did the detox without any bad effects at all, as soon as it was over he started drinking, just a little but it’s almost back to what he had before. He wasn’t on the really strong alcohol so to have such damaged liver was a shock. He says giving up isn’t easy and hes trying to get his head round it.
I feel mad and disappointed and hurt. I’m so close to asking him to leave because of the deceit. I think it might push him over the edge. I don’t know what to do.
