Drive him to AA tomorrow and make sure he goes daily to meetings and has a sponsor.


Also, he needs a therapist that he will see on a weekly basis, and he should go to a treatment center, b/c there is a medication that will help him will alcohol addiction too, but it needs to be prescribed by the doctor. It is also good for him to go to group therapy sessions for Alcoholics in addition to the above.


If he ever acts like he is going to hit you, Leave. He doesn't know what he is doing when he is drunk. He is not in control of himself, and if he is acting violent, you do not want to be near him. Don't do anything to provoke him at that point, just take the car keys and go. Stay safe my friend.Need advice on how to deal w/an alcoholic husband..?
Church or counseling will help. If it causes a bad disturbance in your marriage, then maybe divorce is the best answer.
First I hope you are on good birth control...Do not make babies with him...Go to Al-anon. He has to help himself. Do not make excuses or enable him..When he is sober..Say once I would like you to go back to AA. I am going to go to Al-anon. I am sorry you married him in the first place...If things don't improve in the next few months get a divorce.....
keep him going to AA meetinga and when he does come home drunk, leave the house and don't return for 3 or 4 days. he'll get the point, hopefully
3 times in 6 months? that's 3 days out of 180? That doesn't sound like an alcoholic...that sounds like man not wanting to deal with issues, maybe at home, like a witchy wife...





Seriously, get a grip...it sounds like he's drinking to deal with a problem...





...and it sounds to me like you have a problem with others drinking. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions and labeling others.





You can't help him with his drinking, or not drinking...that has to be a choice that he makes for himself. You can only control you, no one else...he will only quit when he is ready.





So how about your commitment to him? Good or bad? Sickness or in health? Richer or poorer? ...and criticizing him for his actions is not going to make him quit...and it may even make it worse...





Otherwise I don't know what else to tell you...maybe join al-anon for you, that way you will have support of those in similar situations.
Definitly don't bi-ch at him. That will likely make him relapse more. Give support and attend the AA meetings with him. This show how much it means to you.


Good luck.
