Hi Maureen

Welcome!

My advice? Leave him to get on with it! If he truly loves you it may shock him into doing something about it!
If he loves his guiness more than you then its the guiness that will win in the end!
Yoou are on a rocky road of misery if he carries on drinking.
Get out and make a new life for yourself.
If you want to help him because you love him, then sometimes it best to be cruel to be kind!
Give it a time limit if he has not sort help by then you know where its heading!

Kindest Regards
Louise

Hiya Maureen

Im Matt and im a recovering alcoholic.
My drinking and the abuse it made me dish out to my long suffering wife is what led to the breakdown of our marriage.
If you need any advise on this disease and the pain it is very likely to cause you in the future, please dont hesitate to pm me.
And dont be ashamed hun, its not your fault or your issue k?

Lotsa love

Matt x

Hi Maureen, i too fell in love with an alcoholic but didnt know he was one until a year had passed by, he was a binge drinker & had held off touching a drink in the first year. All i can say i lived a life of hell for 10 years until he eventually went to AA & got sober. Its an awful addiction & takes over the persons life, i doubt he really knows what he wants in life except the booze, be careful ok?

You can be responsible for yourself and your wellbeing and happiness. This man can only be helped if he helps himself.

Why are you attracted to him when he appears to have so little to offer you?
