The love of my life can't stop drinking..

...See more I'm married to the love of my life, we are both almost 50, have been married for 4 years, have adult children, and now new grandchildren. He is one of the kindest men I have ever known, that is until he drinks. He is high functional and works everyday. While he has cut down, he still drinks heavily when he does drink, on average I would say half or more of a bottle of vodka. He also tends to hide bottles and sneaks shots when he can. When he does this he becomes unstable in his walk and behaviors, has complete blackouts, and repeats himself usually with rude or mean comments. Sometimes it turns into verbal rage to the point I have to leave because he will tear me apart. My anxiety is so high with not knowing when it will happen the next time. I don't know if I can handle it anymore but love him so much for all the good things he is and does for me and our family. He knows he does this and feels bad and shameful about it but can't stop and won't get help. I'm just so hurt and so confused.
