[quote=Anonymous]I could have been you five years ago, OP. I wondered if my husband's daily drinking was a problem when he was a nice guy who was very good to me. My concerns grew over the next three years as he repeatedly "stopped," only to start up again gradually. It doesn't sound to me like your husband can stop, for more than a short time. As a previous poster said, I also had no idea how much he was drinking when I wasn't around. I was floored to learn later he was drinking almost every day over lunch, etc. Our marriage deteriorated greatly over this and eventually when I was ready to end it, he agreed to get help. He's now been sober two years and our life is much, much better. I learned a lot about alcoholism through this process, and what you describe are many of the classic signs. I would encourage you to talk to a therapist who specializes in addiction to talk through your specific situation. And I assure you, no therapist is going to laugh at you. One I would recommend who was very helpful to me was Anita Gadhia-Smith, with offices in Georgetown and Bethesda. 202-342-1762[/quote]
