Hi!

What have you been doing for yourself? I find al-anon a great help. I also found it helpful to educate myself about the disease. The "Getting Them Sober" books are quick easy reads.

I had to realize that all my "helping" was actually enabling the A to keep drinking. When we follow though with our boundries and step out of the way, we allow the A to actually feel the consequences of their actions.
They must hit a bottom before they will get help. He hasn't found his yet. He may never find it.
