Yeah, we do.  We fight so much more than we used to.  The past 2 years have be hard.  :(  [/quote]

I'm sorry, OP. PP here. It sounds like your husband certainly has a bigger reason to quit drinking so much (health issues) than mine ever did (mainly, b/c I wanted him to). But, it does seem that alcohol is a lightning rod for you guys right now, so to the extent you can try to focus on other issues, even if they are ultimately intertwined. He may be dealing with his health scare poorly. He wouldn't be the first person to engage in self-destructive, counterproductive behavior out of fear or facing mortality.

My dad also drinks too much, and he has been told by his doctor to quit. While he has cut back, he does not follow the doctor's instructions to the letter or anywhere close to that. Drives my mother crazy but she is mostly accepting of it. But, again, he doesn't act like a jerk and it sounds like sometimes your husband does. Start there maybe, with his actions and interactions.[/quote]
