My husband is a drunk

When we first met a long time ago we drank a lot together. He would by cases of beer and we would drink it all together. I understand that.

But those days have passed for me. I no longer drink and no longer feel the need to. I have two babies, and being drunk would just impair my ability to care for them.....it's a handful.

But he has not letting go. He continues to drink almost everyday. I'm seriously getting sick of it. I say something about it almost every time he brings beer home, but he ignores it as though it is not happening.

I've asked him if he considers himself and alcoholic and he does not answer. I think he knows, but won't accept it.

He told me he would stop once, but the next day brought beer home. I'm so tired of it.

I'm not sure what to do anymore, I really don't want my children growing up seeing their father drink everyday, that will lead to them thinking it is okay.

Desirae-

I'm very sorry for your situation. That has got to be very hard, especially since you've gotten sober yourself. You know he has to hit his own bottom. Nothing you do will make him realize it. If you really can't take anymore, maybe it's time for a separation. One of the hardest things for us in recovery is seeing the alcoholic who still suffers...and we can't do anything about it. It looks like you have a decision to make. Give up and leave, or support him until he hits a bottom, keeping it mind that he might never. Maybe if he sees he might loose you and the kids, he'd see that he has a problem. Who knows? Keep us posted and hang in there. =)
