DB an addict has its own slant and tactics.

I was advised by an abuse specialist counsellor to call on the addiction.

Your WH is an overt addict, what does this mean? You are aware he is addicted and it is possible he is still denying it to himself. If he were covert you would need to really dig to know.

So yes, calling him on the addiction is cutting your enabling. You will need to be safe and have dates times locations. You can even do this by email. This should be done matter of fact without anger or judgemental.

Addiction is illness.

Above all be safe.
