    Well, my suggestion would be to have him understand a couple things:
    1. Drinking is not healty
    2. Drinking is hurting you and your loved ones
    3. Drinking is costing you a lot of money every day
    4. Drinking maybe ruining your life
    5. Drinking could have you loose someone you love

    I would suggest Al-Anon support group for you. It is a program that helps people who have been affects by the disease of Alcoholism . This means a family member or friend who's drinking is affecting you. The program is of hope courage and strength to live your life while the person continues to drink. You don't have control over what your husband does or doesn't do. He has to make the decision and do it because he wants to.

    It does not matter what you do to try to make him stop. Even though you love him, he has to want to get sober by himself. Frustrating, but true. But you can get relief knowing you can do something about how YOU feel. And that is to check out the Al-Anon website. And then go to a meeting close to where you live. This program gives you your life back.
    Best of luck to you my friend. Have faith, trust your heart.:)
