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 General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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.
