I have a question about alcoholism. ?

I'm about to marry a man that is an alcoholic. Actually we are already common law married so he is my husband. He goes on these phases where he only drinks a little but then there are times where he will literally be drunk for days. He drinks and naps, wakes up and drinks some more and then sleeps again. It's just a repetitious battle. For the last 2 days he's thrown up beer and then drinks more. I personally know what it's like to be sick to that point but I wouldn't drink more. I can't understand why he does this. Can someone help me with what I should do? Thank you.

    Alcoholism is a disease. A single drink is poison to an alcoholic. He cannot stop himself. Chances are your husband has already damaged his liver and his brain because of his drinking. He needs to stop completely or he will die. Go to www.AA.org for information.
