How to help an alcoholic partner
Seriously guys, I'm desperate.
I don't know how I can help my partner. He is a great person and he has a great job. He helps people a lot in his job and it's so sad that he can't get the help when he helping on a daily basis.
He drinks daily :whiskey and beer. He has them together, not even one at a time. Whenever I ask him to stop, he doesn't listen to me and tells me he is OK. He tells me he needs it to sleep but I just want him to be normal. I mean why can't he sleep if he doesn't drink?
I barely drink. Like a glass of wine per month but he made me hate alcohol to the point I even gave up that wine glass once in a while. Whenever I see alcohol, I feel sick now.
We were on a trip together the past week and he didn't stop drinking. He would stay up all night and sleep in all day which ruined our plans because I sleep at night and expect us to do things in the morning but he never wakes up.
I'm very sad and disappointed and I don't know how I can help. He doesn't listen to me and he just tells me not to worry, everything will be fine but I know it won't if he doesn't take action. He knows he has problems and promises me he will act upon them. He never does though.
