How do you deal with a spouse who still drinks?

That’s awesome Nikki, congrats on the 100 days! Would love to hear more about how it’s been for you and what you were up to over the summer :innocent:

Sorry to hear about your husband. It’s shitty when people in our family get drunk and behave shitty to us.

I don’t have a huge amount of advice about this specifically, though I will say I think you’re doing the right thing reaching out, and you should keep it up; everything I’ve ever learned in my life and every change I’ve ever made has been because I reached out and then did something. :innocent:

Eric @Dazercat has a great thread about living with a spouse who is still drinking:

Are you affected by a loved one who is an addict?

Also there is Al-Anon, which is all about living with a family member who is an alcoholic (they have in person meetings and electronic/online/phone meetings; select “Meetings” in the menu and you’ll see it):

You can do this. Keep asking, keep learning, and you’ll get it.
