thats what he is like, he cant stop once he starts. he admits he has a problem, has never hid that, but seems to avoid getting any help. his drinking was worse in the past and i have seen him suffer hallucinations as a result of detox.
three weeks ago i kicked him out for the night after he spent the day drinking. i dont want to go into numbers as i dont think its allowed, but lets just say he spent more on alcohol in one night than i normally spend on a weeks worth of food shopping for a family of 4. he just cant keep a lid on it, he has to keep going and i feel so sad watching him line up rows of empty cans on the table when hes drinking at home.
we have recently moved to a really rural town in the country so there is really only one AA meeting available here...i guess i will try to persuade him to give it another chance, whenever we start speaking again.
