Married for 10+ years. Spouse developed alcoholism, quit regular job, & for the last couple of years, spends most of his day either sleeping, or drinking at the computer in chat rooms (mostly with gay priests) & generally has been unsupportive of me (emotionally, financially, physically, sexually). I’ve asked in the past for him to seek help for his drinking, & told him of my needs/desires, & mostly he changes for a couple weeks, & then slides back after he feels the heat is off. I’m tired of this. He claims he loves me, but I think he loves having a wife paying 85% of the bills, keeping house, providing health insurance, etc. I told him 1 month ago that’s it, & he wants yet another chance, & for the month, he’s stopped drinking & picking up after himself. I told him I can’t say I love him anymore, & I don’t want a marriage of convenience. He wants to keep trying, but I feel I don’t want to try anymore – I’ve been jerked around enough. How many chances is “fair”?

My relationship with my husband sucks – communication is completely non-effective. I’ve been trying for the longest time to figure out what’s wrong with me, with him, with both of us… He is a recovering alcoholic with 9 months sobriety, and I had associated our problems with that. But the problems continue. The problems also match the symptoms of Asperger’s (mild), so perhaps that is the problem. But all of the issues match descriptions of verbal abuse as well. So what is the problem? And, consequently, what is the answer?

If the problem is alcoholism, then I know his active alcoholism is behind us (hopefully forever), and we just need to continue with the recovery process. If the problem is Asperger’s, then I need to modify my view to accommodate the short-comings that are biologically a part of him. If the problem is verbal abuse, then I need to strengthen my response and not stand for it when he abuses me. The response is different depending on the problem, and I’m desperately seeking a solution.

One in every ten people who are working in some establishment in South Dakota has an alcohol problem. This is definitely ruining the lives of the employees and their families, especially if they are the sole earning members of the families, but this is also creating a big dent in the economy and productivity of the state. Having such a large number of the workforce involved in alcoholism only means those many hours of work wasted. People who are with an alcoholism habit will usually report late for work, sometimes not at all, and even when they do, they will not be in a stable state of mind to carry out their duties. The approach of the evening hours will make them completely redundant for work as their urges for the bottle will begin to greatly override their zest for their duties.

So it is definitely a problem, and a problem that cannot be just let be. It is imperative that a solution is found out as soon as possible. Enabling the employers to bring their alcoholic employees into treatment is one of the best things that the state substance abuse authorities have done. Following the lines of programs in other states, the program for alcohol treatment in South Dakota has also implemented the Employer Assistance Program to a great extent which makes it possible for employers to intervene in the treatment of the employees. The crux of this program is that the employers must intervene to provide a stable working environment to the employees and that includes helping them to rid themselves of their various health-related problems, alcohol addiction included.

Close family member desperately needs mental treatment: childhood seizures (not epilepsy) and behavioral probs. continued into adult issues including depression, paranoia, anxiety, anger, and reclusiveness, abandonment issues (adopted), real-world effects in daily life including homelessness, detachment from family and friends, unhealthy eating/sleeping habits, and occasional alcohol abuse. Refuses suggestions to go to dr. or hospital, last dr. who saw him was at least 3 yrs. ago. Years of this cycle have led us/some drs. to speculate bipolar disorder or even (mild) schizophrenia, but he hasn’t opened up to a dr. or stuck w/ it long enough for good diagnosis; fears medication. NOW, he has gone through a breakup and is in VERY bad shape – all symptoms have returned, & acting distracted, seemingly unaware of the presence of others or not recognizing others (seems like act for attention but also serious), detachment, no eating, shaking, claiming “I’m fine” but OBVIOUSLY not. Now what?
He is now 29 y.o. Seizures started in pre-teens, behavioral probs very early (temper tantrums especially) last seizure around 16 I think. Adoption means no med. history, but he also feels that birthmom “made him this way” and has threatened to “f’n kill her” if he ever found her. Still considering forced intervention but fearful of his retaliation, esp. since he’s paranoid that we’re not out to HELP him, just out to put him away or something negative like that.
Also: would it be helpful or harmful to let him read this, in your opinion?

My fiance denies he has a problem but he never goes a week without a drink! He lies about how much he drinks. I love everything else about him, he is a good man but my grandfather and uncle died young from alcoholism and it scares me!I just can’t get through to him. I asked him to stop drinking and he said he would but he was really mad about it and acted like his life would be over. My mother in law to be is an alcoholic and encourages my man to drink! She’s allowed him to drink since he was 15 or 16, he’s 28 now. I myself see nothing wrong with an occasional drink. I maybe have a drink or two once or twice a month. I go months on end without drinking at all too though. Weve been together 3 years and were engaged. I stay with him cause he treats me great, he’s loyal, he spoils me, and we can talk to eachother about anything well besides his drinking. Should I just deal with it and not say anything or ask him to stop?
