My DH has an alcohol abuse problem. Been stashing empty cans and bottles everywhere in the house, car, garage etc for years on end. Always promised he would stop and “didn’t know why he did it”. Still holds down a job etc, never seems blind drunk but drinks in secret so I know there’s more to it as I’ll only be seeing the tip of the iceberg.
He’s currently seeing a counsellor (not living in my house now). I’m so torn as to what to do. I’m scared if I take him back he’ll go back to his old ways. I also think it seems awful to throw away our marriage and home we’ve built if he can sort himself out. I wouldn’t say he has actual issues, just behaving really irresponsibly and needs to grow up. Feeling so lost. Lockdown isn’t helping either...
