I compare his alcoholism to violent schizophernia - if refused treatment for that I would be gone too!!
The thing is, though, he's not refusing treatment. He WANTS treatment but doesn't know how to go about finding it here. I'm in the process of looking, too. I'm going to contact AA today and see if they have any advice on dealing with the language issue, or any resources in Russian for him. And I keep thinking, you know, we've been through this before, and he did get treatment as he promised, and he stayed sober for five years after that. I keep reminding myself of that. And I know he wants that, too. But will we find help in time, before his drinking destroys everything?

He's on his second day of sobriety now. I know that doesn't mean all that much, but I am trying to find some hope. Without hope, I have nothing.
