Honestly tho, do the dr's really care if they are alcoholic or want to know that they are? My husband was diagnosed by a liver specialist (tops in the county) with alcoholic liver disease. I went with him to all the appointments, made sure dr. knew how often and how much AH drank, wanted the dr. to point out the danges of drinking with ALD and when my husband kept prodding him "can I drink once or twice a week?" the dr. said he didn't think "once or twice a week would hurt." That's right, tell an ALCOHOLIC, diagnosed with ALCOHOLIC (key word) liver disease that he can drink once or twice a week!!! Like that's really going to happen, and that dr. knows it. I agree with Embraced - take care of YOU because your A is going to do what he wants to do anyway, regardless. Mine does.
