AnswerHi Michelle,
I had a hard time understanding your letter. Please use punctuation marks next time, okay?
If you are asking me what to do about your husband who drinks, all I can tell you is that he still needs help. He needs deliverance.This is a spiritual problem and the only answer for him is spiritual. He needs to turn his life over to the Lord for His help.
I couldn't live with someone like this myself. It's up to you whether or not you want to put up with his behavior. Certainly if he is physically or mentally abusing you in any way, you need to be separated so that you can be safe.
You have to make the choice if you want to tolerate this behavior, Michelle. A life living with an alcoholic is a hard road...
In His Service,
Pastor Kim
