Not sure if I can continue

My husbands drinking heavily started abou 9 years ago. All his drinking is at home. Weekends always starts at about 7am with 5 bottles of lager by 10 am. As our child was young over the years our weekends have for me been awful. It used to be cans of lager. About 4 years ago I found 60 cans that had been drunk in a week. Since then I have asked him to get help, which he won't do, told him he needs to leave but it never happens because during the week he is the lovely man I married. He now always has at least one bottle of lager every day before work at 6am and possibly can as well. Most evenings I don't think he drinks? I am normally an expert! But I did find bottles of water with vodka in them. He has started to not go to work on a Monday and I feel I have to tell him to leave but that is hard. Does he drink a lot? I have lost sight of what is normal! If anyone can help or advise I would be grateful.

Well said Sharon that is exactly what Helen needs to do, if he isn't willing even to discuss what is happening. He cannot ignore the effect his drinking is having on his family and himself forever. In the end, his body won't let him anyway x

Brilliant post Sharon and very true and honest. I was the drinker in my family. The guilt alone made me feel dreadful , when I chose to admit. I've lost count of the number of times my husband took our ithree kids somewhere, probably to get away from my drunken antics and behaviour.
My husband tried different approaches when he realised I'd been drinking.
Shouting certainly didn't help, kindness I threw back in his face.
Sometimes you just have to walk away. I know I couldn't go all through that again, just for a drink
