Dodgegirl - Welcome to SR.

I think what the doctor was saying is that an alcoholic needs to decide to quit drinking for themselves and not for someone else. If he is doing it without a real desire to quit drinking and without a program of recovery, relapse is highly likely.

There are a lot of good people on this list who will give you advice on your second question. Sorry for your situation.
