[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP i’m going to urge you to stop reading responses on here and get professional help. Those of us who are familiar with alcoholism see the red flags and see what is going on. We are also familiar with the role of the enabler. You have a long road ahead of you and it is easy to get talked out of doing what you need to do by reading on a chat board that you are over reacting. One might even believe that the reason that you were asking this question is so that you can be talked out of doing what you need to do. Go to Al-Anon, contact a therapist who understands substance abuse, talk to your family physician and get some references. You need professional help to navigate this.[/quote]

OP here, thank you. He found a therapist that specializes in couples therapy and in addiction issues. We're going to make an appointment. I'm looking at Al-Anon for myself too.

I realize the PPs who think I'm just a nag likely haven't experienced anything like this. The unsettled feeling, the worry that you're going to see evidence of secret drinking. Having to see your loved one's own heartbreak over their broken promises. It is hard. A few years ago, I probably would have thought my post sounded like an overreaction too.[/quote]
