It worsened.

This comment implies to me that you picture the two of you sitting down and having a real heart felt conversation and he walks away devoted to a plan to avoid a bad ending type story.
Yes my ex admitted she had a problem and sought out treatment. Long story short, 3 rehabs later, 2 DUIs, Jail time, 2 totaled vehicles, lost of job/jobs, lost her kids (they don't want anything to do with her)... yes help was pursued but she's still drinking her life away. Not a scare tactic, just my story.
