I am reaching out for the first time because I just need help and support. I have been married for over 16 years and have 2 teenagers. My husbands drinking has slowly gotten worse over the years and there is nothing I can do. He does not drink all the time but when he does it is severe binge drinking. He will even hide bottles around the house and get drunk on the weekends.
We went to a cookout at a friends house and I noticed him slowly acting strange. He drove home and halfway home j realized he was drunk. I begged him to stop driving but he didn't. He could have killed use. He finally told me once we got home he was doing shots off the bottles that people had in the house while everyone else was outside. He was so drunk he was going out the front door and peeing outside.
It has never been this bad before.
So he is spending the day going to AA meeting which to me is a joke because he will drink again this coming week. He just goes to me meetings to get out of the house so he doesn't have to deal w me.
None of my friends of family knows what I am dealing with. I am loving this secret life ll alone. I hide everything from my kids so while I hope they don't know they probably do.
I can't afford to leave. I hate staying. I don't know what to do. I have spent my whole day finding alcohol bottles hidden. His whole family are alcoholics and his mother died from alcoholism years ago.
He was not like this when we met or got married. I just don't know what I have done in my life to deserve this.
I highly recommend you attend Al-Anon meetings. You both need help.
AA will help him if he lets it.
