Gotta play devils advocate here, sorry. 
He may be an alcoholic, but you're a foodaholic most likely, like the rest of us on here.
Ours is more socially acceptable but they both require willpower and support to overcome them, not anger and blame.
Would you be upset if he went off on one every time you bought something unhealthy food wise into the house?

Try living with one. It wears you down. Eating too much doesnt turn you into a violent aggressive idiot. You never know whats coming next. Yes, maybe everyone on here are food addicts. But im betting food hasnt made any us pass out in the freezing cold on the way home from a night out, assault someone just for saying the wrong thing or smashed anyones house to bits. You can only support them so far before it starts to ruin your life, trust me. And anyways, at least we're all on here doing something about our addictions

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, know how upsetting it can be & how it wears you down. Is he an alcoholic? He needs to get help but he needs to firstly admit he has a problem.
I can give you advice as been through it myself & I also work with people that have alcohol & drug problems. Please free to message me if you would like. I've been through the money thing, the denial to my friends & family.
Anyhow I do hope you are ok. Take care hun & if I can help in anyway I will xx

Dear small children masquerading as men that I work with.
I am a pretty open minded person, and I don't mind banter, or the odd comment which many women would find offensive. I am a 'geezer bird' in that I will use the C word if its really warranted, I don't mind when you disparage your wifes, because frankly, they are fools for marrying you all, and I even turn a blind eye when you obviously eye up other girls in my presence, and talk to my chest (its pretty impressive, so I don't blame you)
I draw the line at you, as a group, asking me if I'd ever consider a 'gang bang' in a crowded, open plan office. Please desist before I have to show you exactly how much of a geezer bird I am by kicking all your arses all over the place. I know I could take oyu all with one hand tied behind my back. Don't make me prove it.

I don't think my kids were ever too scared to come home because I'd binged on crisps! I'd literally dread going home on Mondays (payday), and couldn't eat or speak by the afternoon. My brothers were the same, our only hope was that she'd gotten so drunk that she'd passed out and would stay that way until bedtime! We'd put ourselves to bed as early as possible to escape a beating and it sometimes worked....and sometimes we'd get dragged from our beds for the beating.
Sorry but overeating and gambling isn't the same (my father was/is a compulsive gambler, who lost our beds in a poker game, I'd still rather live with that than an alcoholic!).

Wow thanks for everyone's replies.
The thing is OH's not an alcoholic. I don't know really know what his "problem" is as it’s not just alcohol that was just what he spent his JSA on yesterday (and last fortnight) in the past it’s all gone on gambling, junk food (yes his entire JSA fortnightly payment on crisps, chocolate, pizza, etc(all bought on 2payday”)), ciggies. I think he has a problem with money burning a hole in his pocket and he needs to spend it as soon as he’s got it and then it goes on whatever first takes his fancy. Either that or he just doesn’t like having to hand over bill money to me x
