Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

My husband is an alcoholic although he wont acknowledge it. He doesn't think he has the problem, everything is all my fault eg, he drinks because the house isn't clean enough or the kids are too noisy etc. I know these are just excuses. He also smokes a lot of marajuana. I just don't know what to do. He drinks between 14 -20 standard drinks every single day and smokes majuana about 4-6 times per day. How long do I stay in this relationship with him. The only thing keeping me here is my marriage vows and the children, but I worry about the effect this has on us and especially our children. He thinks he is playing with them but he becomes too aggressive for them and they don't understand he is playing. He never remembers anything the next day. He is obnoxious, arrogant and oppressive when he drinks, spitting on me and playing mind games. Even when he is sober he is checking up on who I talk to and what I'm telling people. I have thrown him out for a few days and he asked to come back only for a few days until he found somewhere and he promised to get help. However once he was back in the house he reverted straight back to his old ways in less than 24hrs, hasn't sought any help and refuses to leave again. I know no one can answer this question for me but I'm just wondering how long do I stay with him or when is it time for me and the children to leave. He has become increasingly worse over the years. It's really hard as he is the father of my children and I feel I should stick it out with him, but I just don't feel I have the strength to go on this way for much longer. I want to be left alone, to have a life for my children without alcohol or marajuana. Any advice would be great, thanks.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If it's the vows and him being the father of your children that's keeping you with him, you might want to consider how loyal he is to the vow to love and honor. If he's scaring your children that's unacceptable. Best wishes to you.
