[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP. I have dealt with my husband's alcohol use disorder and am the OP of these threads:

Everything the PPs told me was true, about how this was alcoholic thinking and projecting. None of this is your fault, either. But your DH needs to want to change.

It can happen if he wants it but it's hard. My DH will be 2 months sober this weekend, thanks to his commitment to a program and the assistance of medication (Naltrexone). Life is long and he has a long road ahead and it would not be manageable if he didn't want it for himself.

Please don't make a baby with him under the assumption that he'll stop drinking once you're pregnant. Don't even try for a baby until/if he gets his drinking under control. If you have a baby with him in his current state, he will be useless at best and dangerous at worst, and you'll spend your days being furious and resentful. If he doesn't want to get better and you want a family - I'll be honest, I'd divorce him and look for a healthy husband who would be a functional parent with you. At only 30, you have time on your side.

Please keep us updated on your journey and let me know if you have any questions, too.[/quote]
