Have a wonderful day.

RHW,
You live through so much pain. I can't say that I know what it's like loveing a man who is an alocolic in the way that you do. But I can only imagine how hard it must be. Probably the mixture of love and pain, get to you. Have you ever thought about showing him what you posted? When he is sober? Maybe that'll make him SEE what you FEEL. It's just a suggestion.
Happy belated birthday to you! I know that that probably doesn't help you much, but it does come from the heart. Someday, your husband will see how much you love him. I just know he will, and I hope it's not too late by then. You're a great person!
peace,

Somebody, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, we've talked about how it hurts. He knows, but he doesn't want to accept it.
Somehow he has to believe that his addiction hurts no one but himself, and he tries to avoid the knowledge that it's effects are more wide ranging than he is willing to admit.
He knows that he needs to get sober or he will die. He constantly comes up with elaborate plans to stop drinking. They never work. Until he can actually accept what he is doing and the true consequences of it, I fear that his plans will always be doomed to failure.
I just know he will, and I hope it's not too late by then.
I feel this way, too.

RHW,
I missed this post originally, but wanted to wish you a belated Happy Birthday!Also, I'm really sorry how you had to spend Valentine's Day and your current situation with your husband.
How we all have our private trials in life with our family members and spouses. Thankfully we have friends who care in our lives to help balance out things a bit. I truly hope your husband will realize what he's doing and change his behavior before it's too late. My thoughts are with you. (((HUGS)))
