My sister just called and I was just so resigned and negative. Drunk again. Singing outside, loudly, at the neighbor's dog "If you're happy and you know it bark your head"
Wanting to go talk to the neighbor kids, as they got off the bus, and "warn" them about the mark of the beast. It's just sad, sickening, and depressing.
I just dread him. On the one hand, I want to lay down the law and give him an ultimatium. On the other hand, I want him to end up and crisis and deal with his drinking already. Leaning more towards #2.
Just so damned tired. Don't I have enough?

I would go with number 2 as well the only way someone ever gets off booze is when they are ready and sadly the "ready" many times is bottomed out
if he is drinking tons the withdrawal when his is done with this binge is going to be awful
has he ever told his doctor about his drinking I wonder? you can get medical help to get off booze but only if you are ready .."you" meaning him!
you are one strong lady!!!
No, never. He completely denies any drinking to his doctor, but I have noticed he's getting that rosy glow you can't hide.
Heather if you like his doctor do what our patients wives do (it is up to you about publishing this but it happens all the time) the wife slips the nurse a note or the receptionist ..that says "please be discreet I have concerns on the outside.." then inside saying something vague like "please really check his liver closely I am worried about his alcohol intake but he will not talk about it" or whatever...then just walk away ...if they are good people they will be very discrete do the labs ..discuss how much he drinks they know how to ask the right questions and double what they say in answer..like I know if someone says a "couple of beers" hey mean a six pack...there is a different way that people answer and we are trained to know that ..you can help Ron ..I want you to know that ..you do not have to sit passively and wait ..you are a strong woman and I agree confrontation will get you nowhere but discretion will ..and maybe will open doors to him getting help ...and more inportant insight ..
I do this all the time... people hand me notes and while I can not talk to them about the persons health care or conserns It alerts us to problems and to be honest the brain is an organ ...and like a heart lung or liver it can malfunction ..so a good provider will treat him head to toe ..including the brain ..we do not know unless we are told somehow and you can do it with love and concern then step away and let them handle it...oh and nurses just love it when you bring them chocolate :)..I had to offer you some kind of birthday or anniversary gift all I have is my advice because I believe like you do that we should try to keep together caring and loveing ..I am 32 years with my old man this year OOOXXX I hope this helps
