Rosemary,
Unfortunately hon, we can't MAKE them stop drinking if they are not ready. Rescentment will build and add more complicated dynamics to an alreadt compliacted situation.
I must agree with Ruby that you need to worry about the only person you CAN control and that is YOU!. Regardless of how stressed out you get about the situation he is the one who will ultimately make the decision. I can understand totally, my AH just told me he wasn't ready to stop but is willing to make an active effort to cut down on his intake. Have I heard this before? Yes. Has he made good on his promises? For a little while. I pray that our last big bout and "talk" is different than before but only time will tell.
I feel like I am rambeling. I guess I just wanted to convey to you that my heart goes out to you. Spend more time thinking about you for a change. It feels weird at first but then you get a new sence of yourself and it makes you that much stronger if there are rougher waters ahead.
Lots of hugs sent your way,
maryl
