My husband and I have been together for 17 years. More than half my life has been with him. He is handsome, funny, works hard and he drinks- a lot. He has always been a drinker, but this past year and half it is getting worse. He comes home from work and drinks as much beer as it takes to pass out. Most of the time he will go drink at his buddies... I think so he doesn't have to listen to me complain. He is an ass when he drinks, irresponsible and doesn't care about his family. The next he he apologies, tells me he loves me, that he can't live without me and he wants to change. (Same old story everyday) He doesn't have a stop button. He drinks 1 beer and then keeps going. He cannot stop. He is a functioning alcoholic. He still goes to work and gets a paycheck, but our family our kids come second. The amount of family days ruined by a hangover, or my anger from his behavior the night before is ruining our family. I am lost, I feel alone and I don't know what to do.
