Look online to see if there are any AlAnon meetings in your area. AlAnon is a support group for friends and family of alcoholics. There are even divisions for teens. Hope this helps.
try and get them to seek help.
Tell him to go to rehab or you’ll leave.
All you are doing in enabling him and it will only get worse.
My father died at the age of 35 don’t let it happen to your husband on your watch.
Your spouse needs a reason to stop.
Mine stopped because she got pregnant.
If she/he doesn’t stop then I would split.
if he wont give it up ..then you have to.. sorry .. buy why try ..if he wont ..
need more details but support the spouse not the addiction
Well unless he realizes that he has a problem then there is nothing that anyone can do to help.
The only way is 2 get your spouse 2 go get help either by going 2 the doctor n getting a pill (yes they have a pill 4 alcoholic’s, my ex bf got some from his doctor), call or go online 2 the tv show called Intervention which helps u get your spouse help or have him go in2 a treatment center.
The medication is called Campral if u want more information about it please visit their website: http://www.campral.com it gives u all the information u need 2 get him 2 suceed in quitting.
If u want help thru the tv show Intervention which is a highly successful program that is very serious n the production team will help your husband on his rd 2 success by paying 4 him 2 go in2 a rehab center go 2 this website http://www.aetv.com/intervention
Seek help. If your still in love and willing to work on your marriage then that’s the best option. Try remembering on what made your marriage last so long and keep that in mind for the future.
Try to get em sum help..dats all you can really do..if dat dnt work den leave dnt fukk up yo life 4 dem
Alcoholism or any other addiction can destroy relationships, and the worst part of an addiction is that the person can’t be helped until they decide they want to change. I suggest sitting down and talking to your spouse about what their drinking is doing to your relationship and that unless they want to change and start doing something about it you will leave and not take them back. then live with what they decide.
The simplest way is to tell him you love him and help him stop by finding a hobby or something that he can substitute for drinking. My father has been smoking for over 20 years and this method is working for him and he kind of forgets why he even smoked in the first place.
I don’t know if you watch Intervention on A & E but I love it
take a look at the website
I hope it helps

go to alnon it in the phone book and on the web it helps really
He needs to get sober. You need to quit kidding yourself that things can be saved while his best friend is a bottle of booze. Look up Alcoholics Anonymous in the phone book, or, go somewhere else to get help in understanding the dynamics of his addiction, and what you need to do to help him/make him change.
***MILDRED SENT ME***
Awe baby……..I have the same problem. Been married 36 yrs though, and I’m probably the reason she is a drinker. Anyway…….is there family history of alcohol abuse? Did he have a life changing experience? Are you the reason he drinks? Does he want to fight with you when drinking? Is he a nice,funny,play full kind of drunk? Do you ever drink with him? Does he hit? You didn’t specify what the problem is for your trying to save your marriage……….so it’s kind of hard to answer you. Tell us what you are feeling and maybe you will get a good answer……………………We are in the same boat……GOOD LUCK
There is a support group called "Avalon".
Try to get them to a council for help.my guess is you already have.I would leave them you deserve to be happy.
