I think my husband is an alcoholic, what should I do?

Answer by  somerset (801)

Have a frank discussion with him. He is not committed to the marriage if alcohol is coming between you. You can not have a good life, and definitely can not raise children in such an environment. He will need to decide what his priorities are.

Convinced him to attend AA meetings, and I'll go to AlAnoon. Support him but don't enable him with paying his bills, etc. I wouldn't drink around him. Our happy hours are no more.

You should start attending Al-Anon meetings to help you deal with his issues. He won't be able to get any help unless he is ready, and willing. You may have to research if you are enabling him to drink. You may have to have plan a family intervention.

The best thing to do is to join Al Anon, it is a support group for families of alcoholics. You can not fix him, he has to fix himself.

Convinced him to go to AA and get a sponser, and I will go to Al anon. Don't enable him by paying his bills. I don't drink now with him...so it's not a temptation.

Well the first thing to do is to confront him and tell him that he is an alcoholic. If he denies it then that's a sign that he is, if he is drinking constantly. Maybe an intervention is in order, where close friends and family gather together and express their feelings for it, and rehab as well.
