Every excuse he came up with that causes his drinking...I've corrected them. He hides and stashes beer. He even holds back on paying household bills to be able to drink as much as he wants.

He is an alcoholic, he has an obvious addiction to alcohol. And if and when he does decide to quit drinking. If he is an alcoholic, he will need to go to a detox center to quit. Stopping at once can literally kill him. People do die from the withdrawal symptoms of abstaining from drink. So encourage him to seek help and make sure he does it in a controlled setting. Good luck and God bless****

Sorry but all the lying and excuses go hand and hand with the drinking too much. And why are YOU corrected them? I have a similar problem with my husband smoking weed. All I do is pray. I will continue to give him a hard time about it; Unitl he gets help. God Bless you & good luck.

Your husband has an addiction. He lies and makes excuses because you accept them. There isnt much you can do if he refuses to get help except leave and if you have a good marriage then that might work. Show him you mean business.

It doesn't look to me as if your marriage is anywhere perfect, starting with the fact you married an alcoholic, why would you do such a thing. That is the real question. You think he is going to love you so much he is going to stop for you? You think you can change him? Maybe you like being married to such a person because you feel superior, maybe its because you can't deal with a real man.

Hello???? He is clearly an alcoholic....you both need help before you lose everything including your marriage.....this is only the beginning and without help it will only get worse...much worse....be prepared to protect your assets and be prepared to leave him if it comes to that and it may....if he doesn't pay the bills so he can use that money to drink...putting you at financial risk and he lies to you,how can you say your marriage is almost perfect????? Without trust you don't have much.....good luck

He is an alcoholic and is obviously not happy.
Maybe YOU are happy in your marriage, but have you seen things from HIS view? Like REALLY seen it?
You might think things are great, but obviously he does not.
You guys need some help cuz your nagging him and catching him in lies is NOT going to help or change a thing, except in a negative direction.
Good luck.

What have you corrected? You are enabling him by cleaning up for him. He needs help - Alcoholics Anonymous is worldwide - lead him there if you can, there is not much else you can do. He won't get help unless he wants it and there is unfortunately, nothing you can do for him. He needs to do for himself. I am sorry for your situation, maybe you can contact Al-Anon to get some more insight. Good luck. God Bless!

Sounds like alcoholism to me. Alcoholics blame everybody and everything except the booze.
Usually a drunk has to hit his bottom before he's willing to give it up. Meaning, if you allow it, you will go down with him.
How about Al-Anon? It has helped many, many spouses of alcoholics cope.

your husband is an alcoholic and you are enabling him to continue.Please do not think that you can fix or correct this in him.The only person who can make him better is him.As long as you cover up for him and stand by him he will never face up to his drinking.I have experienced this first hand and eventually had to divorce my ex as I did not want his life taking over mine.Its gonna be hard for you but you will make the correct choices Im sure.You must look after yourself and allow him to sink or swim because you cant do it for him.Good luck
