My H had to stop in 1995 for one year and had to go to AA and Anger management because of a pysical abuse charge on me. He went right back to it the day his probation was over. He loves it and does not see it as a problem. He drinks everyday, now. He goes out just about every day, he rarely comes home after work.
That's why he was fired from his job last year, they set up a outpatient clinic for him to go to, paid, it was mandatory, and he refused, he was fired. He said they can't tell him what to do and he doesn't have a problem.... so he is not going to stop, he lost his job over it and he would lose his family over it, too without blinking twice and I know people tell me then what the he** are you doing with him anyways he doesn't care.
For me, I am reading alot of books. My two older children 16 and 15 do not like him or respect him, can't stand him actually and they know exactly what is going on. My youngest, 3 just adores him even though he hardly sees him or plays with him.
