Re: Is he depressed?
I agree with Justean. I was a drinker too at some time ago and I was depressed and very anxious due to overwhelming stress from work and traumatic experiences in the military. Yes the drinking started out as a relaxer or self medicating but led to abusing beer at first and in 1985 started to drink Vodka for the lack of smelling the liquor. I also used some street drugs but not heroin thank god and my dads advice since I was a kid. Finally turned myself in to the hospital 1996 for help. Then my wife started acting strange again as she did back in 1976 or so which was about her having an affair with a work chum but she will never admit to it. This combo does not help a person live a normal life anymore. She turned her back on me and left me to rot in hell. I am lucky to be alive today thank god for that one.
If you love him then take care of him and he has to be able to help himself too. Its a 2 sided street you know.
I hope things work out for you.
