[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is not about drinking "with a newborn."

This is about the fact your DH is an alcoholic and you do not SEE that with crystal clarity.

One bottle of wine every day is far, far into serious alcohol abuse. The kind he won't just "snap out of." He needs to admit he is an alcoholic and commit to intensive help. If you think posters here telling you this are "being dramatic" or "don't really know him" -- you are in denial. The sheer amount he consumes so regularly is nt normal and will eat his body like it will eat your marriage and family.

Please immediately set up a babysitter (NOT your DH, he must never be left alone with your baby) and get to Al-Anon yourself, in person if you can, or virtually if you can't, but DH can't be around. Al-Anon is for family of alcoholics. If you think he isn't alcoholic, go anyway and ASK them there. They will tell you. If you resist Al-Anon, then ask to speak to your family doctor and describe the amount you described to us. Ask the doctor how to begin getting help. Your DH is an alcoholic, no matter who comes on this thread to tell you otherwise, and his disease WILL consume all of you. And again: Never, ever, leave him with your baby even if you think he seems sober at that moment.

And OP, please re-read your own post. You say he has had incidents of "slipping/falling, passing out on the couch, blacking out." Any ONE of those with a baby in his solo care could end with your baby injured or dead. This is a crisis and you need to get a sense of urgency about it. Reach out tonight to Al-Anon online, and to your doctor ASAP. [/quote]
