DH has always had an addictive personality and enjoyed a drink. A few years ago he was falsely accused of something. It took 2 years (due to police incompetancy) to clear his name but in that time he began to drink heavily (hiding half bottles of vodka around the hous and drinking during the days). I eventually managed to get him to go and get some help from the gp. He cut back but didn't stop.
2 years on we have a DS and DC2 is on the way but DH drinking has started to creep up again. He could quite happily drink 12 units of alcohol a night. He has a job now and doesn't drink during the day but does drink every night.
I lost it with him the other night and threatened to leave. He said he knows he is drinking too much but says that we can sort it together (ie he doesn't need to go get help)
He has sgreed to cut back (2/3 cans a night) but I'm not sure if this is enough. Will it just keep creeping up again. I have offereed to go t total with him as I'm not bothereed about drink at all and am obviously not drinking at the moment anyway. but he seems to just want to 'get it undre control' as apposed to stopping. He would not go to aa. I have mentioned hypnotherepy which he's not 100% against.
What can I do? Will cutting back help? His argument is that he's not drinking during the day so he's not an alcoholic.
Help please.
