I decided to start a new thread today, and ask if there is anyone out there that has experience with a spouse abusing alcohol in response to or in conjunction with MLC.

I know that my h has a problem. I truly believes he needs help, but know I can't be the one to offer/give it to him. I'm thinking of turning to his friends and asking for their help. I did once mention his drinking several months ago, and he of course flatly denied it as a problem. However, last month when I stopped by his place to drop the kids off for his weekend he was passed out drunk. I was able to wake him enough to know that he wasn't just asleep. I've never seen him or anyone in that kind of shape.

Our marriage may be over, we're separated and have been for 3 months. He said he has "issues" to work on during this time, but who knows what that means. I told him that if working on his issues got him to that point he was in, then there is something very wrong.

The problems with our marriage and where we are at now aside, I still care for him so deeply and I worry about what he is doing to himself and the impact this has on our family. How do I help him?
