I moved in with my Boyfriend (37 years of age) about 6 months ago, We dated for 6 months before hand but i lived 2 hours away so i only saw him on weekends. After i moved in i realised that he was drinking up to 6 beers a day and at least a bottle of wild turkey a day. He told me that he has been hospitalised for a stomach ulser when he was 27, now i know why. My Boyfriend is an alcoholic! A few months ago he had another scare of a ulser and we sat in the hospital at midnight for 5 hours. I thanked god because he was so sacred and i seriously thought this was the end of his drinking. Turns out that lasted less than 2 months. He started drinking heavily again but was hiding the bottles, his bank statement came in and added up $2000 of purchases at the bottle shop in 2 months :( OMG, how can this be? What the hell is this man thinking. I know he loves me and wants to stop drinking but he thinks he can stop on his own and he has proven time and time again he cant do it. Just this morning he got up and said, time to turn a new leaf, yea yea i have heard this before, All i can say to him is great, ill help anyway i can but i know in my heart he cant stop on his own. I Love this man and i want to build a life with him but how can i when so many diseases can come from this addiction and he cant stop or wont. What do i do? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Wow, that sounds very stressful!

You need to ask yourself if you can live and be with a man who's an alcoholic.

Personally, I would give him an ultimatum.  Either he seeks professional help for his alcoholism or you're out of the house.  Give him a timeline, like two weeks (just a suggestion).  

If you're going to give an ultimatum, be serious.  When the time has come and he hasn't gotten professional help, don't cry wolf and stay around.  If you do that and give him an ultimatum again, he won't take it seriously.

Best of luck!
