[quote=Anonymous]Of course he did. That's what addicts do.

I'm sorry. Agree with Al-Anon suggestion. I had to leave my functioning alcoholic, serial cheater "sex addict" ex after many years of thinking he was better, just to discover over and over again that he was "better."

He was so good at white-knuckling, so charming, etc. But at the heart of it, the addictions WERE HIM. I don't know if this will make any sense to you. But they were simply part of who he is. A heavy drinker who stops periodically and claims he's better. Someone who loved to charm psychologists with his stories. Etc. The rest isn't relevant to you.

Addicts lie. They white-knuckle. They relapse. They feel sorrow. They try harder. They white-knuckle. They relapse. They lie.

I agree with Al-Anon and a really really good psychologist for you - to give you non-biased and personal support. All too often, wives of alcoholics end up worrying so much about their husbands that they can't see the big picture, they can't take care of themselves, and they desperately need a little help.

Hugs. [/quote]
