My advice..get out if he wont seek help.

We do all the things <a href="http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/search_results.asp?site_search_term=married">married</a> people do, just dont have it on paper. well, anyways, he likes to drink more then he should. Dont get me wrong I dont have a problem with him drinking, just not all the time. Its a problem when it interferes with taking care of our kids. We have a 2 year old son and a 7 weeks old daughter. She wakes up to eat at night. I am in school so we try to switch off. But when he drinks too much he is dead to the world. Any advice on how to get him to understand that there is a time to drink and how to limit himself. I love him and he is a great father and husband untill he drinks too much. I really want him to get his drinking under control so we can be a happy family.<BR>Give me any advice you have, please!!!!!
