Alcohol help: my boyfriend has an alcohol problem its pushing me away from - Help.com

maybe talk to him about it?

its effecting his health then its a major problem.. I recently had a friend die from liver failure, he had ulcers and all the symptoms of alcoholism but he didnt care cause it made him feel better about himself.
Maybe he isnt happy about the situation he is in.
Or he needs something to straiten him up, its not going to make your life or his life any better staying with him if he has a major problem. But breaking it off could increase his dependency on alcohol.
This is a tough situation indeed i myself have started drinking more and more but i believe i can control it, i do it cause im lonely lol and it keeps my mind off depressing things and helps me to relax.
Anyways idk if kids are involved or if he is really touchy about the subject, but its possible he might not be able to give this up. I just hope he doesnt turn into an angry drunk cause thats not a situation you will want to be in either

Even with his problems thats no reason to kill himself with alcohol, its a painful struggle drying slowly from that addiction.
Im not trying to tell you to end it with him, maybe you can work out his problem and stick it out with him, but to watch him kill himself slowly will be very painful for you. And then you would have that on your shoulders the rest of your life.
This whole situation is only going to stress you out more than ever, and will not be very easy but if your willing to try and help him thats your choice.
But feeling sympathy for him is not a reason to stay with him.. if you love him then its worth trying to help him to quit and/or cut way back on drinking because it will only ruin both of your lives
