[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am the OP of the ‘how to tell your kids their father is an alcoholic’ thread.  I dont want to make you paranoid, but this deserves serious exploration.  You basically described my DH before I learned that he was also drinking in the morning, at his desk, in the middle of the night... in all seriousness, I had been with this man for 10 years and did not know he was constantly drunk - this is high functioning alcoholism.  Until it wasn’t, and it crashed and burned in a horrible way.  I am not sure what I would recommend right now except to take it very seriously.  Pay attention to little things, like does he sometimes forget conversations you had, or has his sleep pattern changed, or is he excusing himself at odd times or going to the bathroom a lot - these might indicate him trying to keep a steady buzz.  Check the recycling every now and then for empties.  And maybe have a conversation with him about how you are very concerned in light of his brother, and would he consider some counseling sessions to help you understand how to talk to each other about it.[/quote]
