My bf confessed he’s been hiding something from me

Last night, my bf confessed he’s been hiding something from me. He told me he’s been drinking alcohol every day but today is the first day he’s sober.

I would have never known but also I don’t see him frequently. He told me he feels like he disappointed me.

For about 3 months I did notice some really aggressive behavior. He’d get mad quick then he’d have some good days. His attitude changed drastically. There were days where he just screamed at me if we argued …

Another thing I noticed was that he was “delusional” I don’t know if that’s the correct word. For example, if we argued, he’d bring up comments I never said. He would put things in my mouth. I swear I never said those things and he would insist that I did say that. Other things would be that he forgot things a lot.

Well anyways, he told me he drinks to escape personal problems which it’s long to share here. I cried 😭

I asked him if he considered going to therapy because this sounds like alcoholism and he said

“No, it’s not! I don’t crave alcohol. I only drink when I have issues or if we argue. I can stop anytime just like today I stopped and I feel fine”

Is this true???
