Alcoholic Behavior. People who are alcoholics often exhibit alcoholic behavior such as “the shakes,” the “DTs,” loss of control, denial, manipulation, poor health, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms when they suddenly stop drinking.

How do I get my alcoholic husband to leave me without killing him?

My husband turned into a binge drinker, it started 3 years ago when he lost his job. He now has his own business. I do go to Alnon meetings. At least once a week. I am 47 years old, not in to bad of shape. I work and have friends. I live on the East cost, my only child lives in the West. I just think I am afraid of living by myself. I live in a two family house. My mom lives in her own apartment downstairs. His drinking is causing me so much aniexty, I hate his behavior when he is drunk. He can’t stay sober for more then 2 to 3 weeks. I tried talking to him, writing letter, crying, etc…. of course we fight which doesn’t help the problem. I just wish I had the courage to get my ass to the lawyer and start separation If it was another women it would have been over. If G-d takes him at least it is over.

I was married to an alcoholic for 22 years. . .I’m 48 and have a full time job. If he has no plans to quit drinking, leave him. I am SOOOO happy to be without the anger and pain of being married to an alcoholic. You won’t be that alone. . your mother is downstairs. You’ll probably have even more friends once he’s out of your life. I withdrew from friends because of my ex.

Get out now! Don’t talk/think about him not living any longer – focus on your LIFE and LIVING it. Take care of yourself. . . life is too short.

You’ll probably be in better “shape” when you leave him. I lost 20 pounds, blood pressure went down and people tell me I look 10 years younger now!

Good luck!
