My husband was exactly the same, in denial about his addiction. It was only when he read through the posts and journals on here that he identified with the users and the problem itself.

However, he had to be nudged into coming on here. I think that the worst pain fora PA in denial is having to admit they have the addiction, then that means they will have to address it, and more importantly stop it. And they don't want to stop.

I took desperate measure to get my husband on here (basically I blocked all websites apart from this one and his bank accounts etc, then set this as his home page). I'm certainly not suggesting you take such measures, perhaps you could email him the link? (try once a week) Then he can read at his leisure without admitting to you that he has been on, therefore addressing the addiction in his own time?

Once he reads the posts without being forced to, he should take it in better.

How are you?
