Hi David,

I was married before to an alcoholic (he died from it) and unfortunately unless they want to get help there is nothing you can do. I begged, pleaded, tried a family intervention, did everything I could to get my former husband to stop drinking...it didn't work. I started going to Alanon and that helped me a lot. Wish I could offer some positive answers for you but that was my experience with an alcoholic. So thankful that chapter in my life is over.....
