My husband is a healthy normal guy 95% of the time, however sometimes for reasons unknow he starts to drink alcohol and does not stop for days. He will drink at least three bottles of wine a day. He does not eat whilst he self destructs and the episodes last up to 1 week. He does not communicate with anyone and its likes he's a different person.
These episodes do not happen more than twice a year but when they do it, our family life is effected badly.
He will not come out the other side until he is ready and then he is distraught that he has put everyone through all the hurt he causes.
He is not physically violent but can become a little verbally aggressive if I challenge him whilst he is still very drunk.
Does he have some kind of depression, mental disorder??
We would both like to know what triggers this and how we can put an end to these.
He can go without alcohol for long period of times without any difficulty.
Please help
