What To Do Husband Is Addicted To Corex For Mental Stress?

I got married 3 years back. My husband is addicted to corex. I have a 2 yr old child. My husband is suffering a downfall in business. Due to this we have lots of tensions. I have never seen him drinking corex. But found the bottles in home. He says its because of tension. He says he drinks only half a bottle that too not daily. I don't know the truth. Plz help. How can I help him to get rid of this habit. I am very much worried.
