Anyone married to a DH who managed to stop drinking and had a normal relationship with alcohol now?

Just this. I'm loosing hope that one day he will wake up and realise enough is enough.

Not sure I want to stay married to drunk DH. Which is a shame as sober DH is a great man. Sadly he's only really sober during the day if he's working nights. Other than that he is drunk from 2pm onwards.

Any hope he can change ?

He will only change when he wants to. I'm saying this as someone that recently admitted to myself and everyone else I had an issue with alcohol. Everyone close to me knew to a degree but they didn't know how much I was drinking. Two of my cloisters friends had said to me after I told them they had been worried for a while but didnt say to much because they were worried I would be annoyed that they had asked. Honestly I told them that it wouldn't have mattered what they said until I was ready to admit to myself. I've been really lucky with the support of my friends and family. I went to an AA meeting last week which was a real eye opener to the effects drinking can have on your life one ur gets a grip of you. It's really sad.

Is your DH willing to talk about it? Does he want to stop? I bet deep down he does, it's just a case of accepting it. When your drinking thinking about never drinking again is a hard thing to get your head around. I made the decision to stop completely. I'm happy with that. I do know someone else that went though a period of drinking a lot and he rarely drinks now but has a beer or two when he feels like it.

My dad was a

Sorry posted b4 i could finish my dad was a bad alcholoic he had severe damage to his liver nearly died from internal bleeding from varacosies in his gullet since that day 9 years ago he has not touched a drop of booze! His liver has now regenerated to nearly 90 percent and he has overcome his addiction it can be done my lovely i just think they need to want to do it themselves otherwise you will be faced with a stone wall.xxxxxxx
