Scared

[Balloon5]

My partner is an alcoholic and he’s been trying to stop, he’s been doing so good these last 2 months. One of his close friends recently passed away and tomorrow is his viewing; I think it’s finally hitting him, he seemed off all day when I spoke to him and I was afraid to come home but I came anyways when he answered the door he couldn’t even stand up straight I’m afraid he’s going to get violent but I don’t want to leave if I’m away from him it gives me anxiety but when I’m around him like this it gives me anxiety I don’t know what to do!

Hello

So sorry for what you are going through but my advise would be you have to keep yourself safe

Does your hubby go to AA or have a Sponsor ?

There is also al alon meetings and support lines for people that are living with alcoholics that could support you have you tried contacting them ?

I would suggest to your hubby he goes to a meeting or contacts his Sponsor , he was very early of the booze and loosing a friend has obviously sent him running to what he is used to using to escape , however you cannot put yourself in danger and neither can you stop him drinking , so I would tell him to get to that meeting or as hard as it might sound either ask him to leave or if you can leave pointing out you can talk when he has sorted his self out , maybe ask a friend or family member to come and give you some support if you do this

Stay strong but remember you don't have to live like this and his addiction is not your problem or something you can fix but you have to take care of you which is something you can do

Take Care x
