Hi ~ I'm a recovering alcoholic, and you can demand all day long, or threaten, or beg, bargain, etc., and it won't do any good. He MAY end up going to a counselor just to make you feel better, but he STILL won't quit drinking until HE is ready to quit. HE has got to hit is bottom, which can be very deep. He evidently hasn't lost enough, like his home, job, family,car, license, etc. Some people don't live long enough to hit bottom - and I'm sorry to say that but it's true.
Nina, you're relationship is just going to be one heartache after another. Your best bet would be to GET OUT. I'd walk away, and perhaps after he's gotten sober and has some sober time under his belt, you two can get together again, but for now, I'd get out of this relationship. The only thing you're going to get out of this is pain & heartache and LIES. Maybe he'll get sober and maybe he won't. Only time will tell. I wish you the very best. You can private message me anytime. I'll be happy to talk to you. God bless. Hugs, Lee
