Hi,

I am not sure I belong here, here is my story. I know my story is not as bad as some on here but I just don’t know what to do. I did not grow up in a home where drinking was a problem. And my first husband was not a drinker at all... I met this man I fell in love. I knew he liked to have a few beers and I did not have a problem with that. Well when we moved in with each other the few beers became any where between 9-12 depending on when he fell asleep. Sometime he would drink a 12 pack on Friday night and for sure one each on Sat and Sunday. Sometimes he’s Personality changes and he turns into a jerk, then he falls asleep and wakes up the next day and de is his normal sweet self. I have tried talking to him about the amount of his drinking. He drinks less for about one week end then it is back to the normal behavior. I have tried talking to him about any troubles that may be bothering him, that dosent work either. I have tried pouring his beers our once he is asleep that dosent help either the stores keep an endless supply on hand for a cost of course. I am at a lost but I feel uncomfortable with the amount of beer he consumes and the why his behavior.

hi there, I was looking for help and found this forum but it seems a bit dead. Your story sounds very familiar. I'm having similar problems. I wonder if you found any help... I notice your post is about 6 months old. I wonder how you're making out now...?

thanks!
