husbands drinking problem

[amyturtle]

Hi! I need some Christian advice on how to handle my husbands drinking problem. We are going together to Celebrate Recovery with our church. He has a drinking problem. He has received seven dui's in his life. I need help deciding whether or not to point out to him that I know he's been drinking. He tries to hide it from me while I'm at work and by the time I get home, he has destroyed the evidence (beer cans). I am not an idiot and I can tell by his slurred speech and blood shot eyes that he's been drinking. I don't need actual proof such as a beer can. I have been telling him, "I know you've been drinking, I can tell" then comes him saying, "here we go again with the accusations. I tell you I have not been drinking, where is your proof" It's starting to sound like a broken record. Any advice on how to handle this would be appreciated. Thanks, Amy

The best place for you to learn to cope with your husband's alcoholism is at Alanon meetings. There, you can learn from other wives of alcoholics what to say, and what to do. I also suggest marital therapy for both of you.

My husband was a big drinker, too. I went to Al Anon and it helped a lot. We learn to change ourselves to a better life in Al Anon. Best wishes to you.
