Augustwife:Find all the consequences of alcohol print it and place it around your house Let him see the consequences of his actions on those who he loves... The shame on his family. What will happen to his kids if alcohol kills him What would happen to you his wife. How his not being at home will affect his relationship with you his kids your family and his health. Addiction and those who are addicted need just one important thing they hold in high esteem that could bring them to realize the danger of their habits. Find what your husband hold in high esteem and tell him he will lose it if r does not fix himself. But never give an addict a timeline they will hide and deny to gain your trust and respect. Good luck 2 Likes |

frozen70: If the husband truly loves her, he wouldn't put them in debt, whether he loved her before doesn't matter, we are talking of what is happening right now, because Op confirmed he is drunk at this moment An addict can only be helped if they are determined and willing to help themselves, no matter what the Op tries to do to help him, it won't work if he is not willing to help himself. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Klass99: You are saying the gospel not just thinking out loud You see the first bolded, after the wedding, I and hubby discussed of red lines that must never be crossed in our marriage, that the oath are mere words of mouth and ends there The second bolded, Op's husband falls in the category of 5) Any form of addiction detrimental to the family's financial progress and sanity(you forgot to add this one) There are some things one cannot cope as a spouse in marriage, and truly the "for better for worse" oath doesn't cover it. 3 Likes |

When people say they have prayed they have fasted I usually wonder what exactly they mean... OK you did 7days abi na 40 days fasting and prayers and you feel the problem would just go like that... Tor its not your fault its what preachers yaff turn God too your favourite ATM machine just go type pin prayer, fasting and bam your answer.... The Mathew 7:7 you always quote try read different version of it you would understand... The amplified version says ask and KEEEP asking till you get your answer not hit and run that you do.... Also are you looking for who would tell you abi help you justify leaving that man, when you stood before God and they ask you for better for worse and you shout "I DO" ogbeni this is the time to now did oo abi na do... Stop encouraging his excesses stop paying his debts for him if they like let them drag him by his boxers abeg throway face... If they arrest him be supportive by going to carry food for his visits but dont bail him out... You keep being a mommy figure for him that's why he keeps misbehaving let him shame all of you stop covering for him... When he ruins himself then he would come back to himself... The prodigal son needed to come back to himself to be able to come home... Just try as much as possible keep Praying and fasting also cover yourself well so he doesn't you leave you and your kids stranded 12 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: this is NIGERIA. there are zero facilities for rehabilitation of addiction the best that we have is people running to religious figures for prayers in the end, only the man can sort his addition - if he has one of those hail mary type moments when he is forced to see what he is becoming even worse - to cure a bad habit - you are advised to modify your environment. once i decided to stop nairaland - and i blocked it with hosts file etc. how do you block out alcohol which is for sale everywhere and on every billboard? 2 Likes 1 Share |

He was formerly drinking occasionally and there was no problem (many men drink occasionally too carry out their responsibilities) . Now he cannot go a day without drinking, to point of accruing debts; this no be clear eye! Na spiritual something! How u wanna go about it now is what I Don't know, but clearly, it's for a spiritual undertone. May God see u through Augustwife: 1 Like |

It’s a mental issue if it’s to this extent. He needs to be admitted into a facility for months so that he can slowly be weaned off the Alcohol. Otherwise he will keep drinking. He’s so far gone into Alcohol that they cannot stop him suddenly, he could die if you try that. They will have to slowly wean him off in a controlled environment. You are not a medical professional so you cannot handle a situation where he’s in withdrawal and you are at home, alone with him and kids. He can harm you to get his drug, alcohol is his drug. His condition is really bad and I think you should go with him to Ari yourself. It’s possible the family is doing everything not to get him admitted, while making him your problem. If he refuses to be admitted, drop him at their house and you will see that they will quickly get him admitted. I am sure he had this problem before marriage but they kept it hidden very well. Only to marry him off and keep their problem with you. If you don’t want to die in penury and mental issues, get him admitted now. Let him stay there for 3-6months. He doesn’t have any job anyway. 7 Likes |

Addictions are one of the hardest things to live with. Cut him lose and leave now before it becomes too late for you. He will just keep dragging you u and the children down. I don't think they should especially be seeing their dad continously drunk and see him behaving so irresponsibly. He chose alcohol over his family, as that's what's most important to him You can't help him, and I doubt Drs can. The change has to come from within. If an addiction isn't impacting on the family negatively, perhaps I can ask you to bear with him While at it, separate your finances and businesses, otherwise be really ready for total financial ruin. You have kids, put them first in everything. 2 Likes |

Let no one deceive you. Drunks don't drop their drinking habits. In facts that is what usually kill them. So don't let anyone tell you he'll change, he won't! You either leave or learn to live with it and prepare for what may likely come out of it ( ailment). Talking from what I've seen happen live. 1 Like |

FERNANDEZISBACK: FERNANDEZISBACK, that doesn't mean you should always try to help them scatter it. Let them do that themselves. Every marriage has their troublesome, shaky & tough times. Some survive it and becom straight again while others just end it. Just giv ur own tip advice and let them do the rest. Thank God say marriage nor be for me normally, i nor get strength to complain sef. |

Wow, first time I'm hearing of a Nigerian man being alcohol dependent. The average African man knows how to handle his drinks. Anyway, if the story is true, fasting and praying wouldn't stop it. Your husband needs to go to rehab. 1 Like |

Augustwife: Alcohol is very expensive now except he takes Kai Kai it is a huge financial liability. Alcohol everyday? He should be worried about his liver, kidney n HBP, his future health is at stake. Love is not enough he needs self control, discipline. Alcohol once a week is fair not daily. |

Madam,let me tell u something about men who drink alcohol uncontrollably. Some were jazzed and some are actually addicts But u see some of those women selling alcohol at various junctions, makeshift shelters, bars and name it. I remember I said "some",are using jazz or what I call juju. U will bring all u your salary to them and go into debt just for them alone. It happened to someone I know,but in the end,the guy died from poison...and he was the only son and only child of his mum. U have to do something seriously. 1 Like |

Re: Not The Marriage I Had In Mind by ManAustin(m): 11:21am On May 22, 2022 |
You can just give him space, get seperated from him for sometime, let him come back home to no one. Sometimes such measures makes such kind of persons regain their senses, it will be for them a period of retrospecting, agonizing and informed decision making. I won't advised that you divorce outrightly but just seperate yourself from him for a while . |
Re: Not The Marriage I Had In Mind by oluwaseyi0: 11:27am On May 22, 2022 |
@ Augustwife Don't listen to advise of leaving your husband in his time of trial, leaving him won't solve the problem rather it will make it look like you are the problem My Proposed solution Firstly take full control of the family finances, if he's doing salary job, fight to have access to the account Ensure he only have access to want he need, food in his belly and good cloth to wear ... that's all, no extra money for him and even from his pay With his family support cut him off from his co-drinker if any exist He should visit a psychiatrist and read books on conquering addiction Don't mind the feminists yelling you should abandon your marriage, it gives them joy to see marriage fail even good marriages |
