My boyfriend is alcohol dependent. Where can I get free help and support for both of us?
Although he is in no way violent or aggressive when he's drunk, my boyfriends alcohol dependency is putting enormous strain on our relationship. He doesn't drink as much as he used to, but will still sit at home by himself and put away a litre of spirits (on the majority of nights in a week) a) just for the sake of getting drunk b) if he's denied alcohol he can't switch off, relax or sleep. It is also seriously affecting our sex life, as I greatly dislike only having sex when he's drunk, but he doubts his performance when he's sober (despite being told otherwise!)
He has often said he knows he drinks too much and would like to cut down, but seems unwilling to actually do anything about it. It is starting to affect his health. I would like to know what steps I can take to help us both understand and tackle the problem together without making him feel undermined.
I love him very much and aside from his drinking he is a wonderfully caring, loving and intelligent person.
HELP!!!

9 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoOn average, how much woolworths pic 'n' mix could you buy for fifty quid?
What would be a) the maximum weight, b) maximum volume and c) minimum volume of Woolworths Pic 'n' mix sweets could you feasably purchase with £50?
What would be the optimal selection of pic 'n' mix to get the best selection of weight to volume ratio? Enormous volume is good, but not if it means getting nothing but marshmallows and dodgy stale white chocolate buttons with coloured balls on, we want quality people!
