Drinking myself to death

DH drinks every night. Bores the absolute fuck out of me. I drink quadruple what he does because I can't bear to sit here sober. Marriage is pretty much ok apart from the drinking but I'm scared of what I'm doing to myself :(

Well I'm not sure if the marriage is ok if he bores you but I'm assuming that's not what your post is about. Have you sought professional help for the drinking?

You can get help - google addiction services and your area and see what comes up.

It seems you are blaming dh for the drinking when you are drinking more than he is. If you are only drinking because you are bored find something else to do, download words with friends idk. But if your drinking is actually a problem which I suspect it is then see your GP or find an AA meeting if you feel ready for that.

Life doesn't have to be miserable. Please go to your GP and get some help.

Drinking to match or surpass him isn't the answer to boredom surely. Is the drinking fun? Doesn't sound like it and you are killing yourself. Get over to the support threads and find some hobbies.

nobody ever looks at their life because we are consumed by work and family as day to day living . Isolation makes us see life in a different way that we have never seen life before . Because you always had freedom and space .
If you still love your husband that's great ,it's your anxiety,ask your self what did he do to you to have the feeling your having .
Did he harm you dose he not care or is he not giving you time to yourself.
Because everything is different we are all seeing life different from what we know . Life is still the same love the man you fell in love with ,it's no different for him just because he dose not say anything .
Your drinking you can stop be the beautiful person you are with strength come back .

Marriage is not okay...If drink is an essential ye are not okay..need to stop and think for a moment.

It is a destructive cycle between you, if you're worried about your health I bet your body is giving you tell tale signs of damage? Listen to it, if he is driving you to drink excessively out of boredom.
See your GP continue as you are and things will only get worse.
