My boyfriend is an alcoholic. We have been dating 5 months and I recently moved in with him not knowing he was an alcoholic. I am so frustrated with him; he tells he will only have 1 or 2 drinks and before I know it, he is drunk and acting like a school boy. I feel like his caretaker. He has had his license taken away from the DUI's so now he has to ride the bus to work or I have to drive him. I refuse to drive him to work. I want him to realize what he has done to himself. The last couple of days when we go out and he drinks too much I get so angry I slap him in the face. He gets mad but is as gentle as a teddy bear.
I can't help but want to slap him for the way he acts. I know slapping is not the way to deal with things - but I don't know what to do as I have never dealt with this before.
I know helping smooth over issues will not help so I think tough love is the key. I just don't know if I’m stepping over my boundaries by hitting him.
He is a wonderful man, provider, and very loving when he doesn't drink, but turns into this irresponsible boy when he drinks. I want to stick around and help him through this, but I’m not sure how to help or cope.

I hate my husband for what his drinking has done to our lives. Sometimes, I hit him when he drinks. I know it doesn't help, but he makes me so angry. Any advice?
