Eating and nutrition... am I "allowed"?
Is it okay for me to encourage (sometimes insist) that my recovering AH eat something? He doesn't eat. And his schedule right now is so busy that he has little time to give eating much thought. He leaves the house at 7:00 a.m. to go to work, leaves work and goes straight to treatment and doesn't get home again until almost 10:00 p.m. This is not a new problem... he has always been like this... although, it did get much worse as the disease progressed.
This is where I get confused about how we are supposed to view alcoholism. The professionals keep using diabetes and cancer as analogies to help us better understand the illness. If my AH had either of these two diseases, it would be perfectly acceptable and expected that I would practically force feed him, if necessary.
What should I do?
