I am mostly looking for support and advice. My husband was in the Navy and drank a lot when he was in. It became a problem and he always promised it was because he was so stressed in the service. After he got out it was better for awhile but now it’s a constant roller coaster of ups and downs. He’ll go weeks where he has himself together and then times where he’s drinking everyday, multiple drinks a day. Hiding or lying about how much he’s drank. Lately, it’s to the point where it’s affecting not only our relationship but my mental health.

I know a lot of women on here are immediately going to be say -leave him, he’s not worth it- but I’ve been with this man for 10 years. I love him and I don’t want to quit on my marriage. I know that he needs to want to help himself. Just looking for support because taking care of everything for two people is emotionally draining and exhausting.

Thank you for listening.
