Welcome!
I have asked that question myself and I still don't have an answer....but after all these years, and all the alcoholics in my life I don't think him dieing from drinkng too much beer should be at the top of your worry list. They seem to land on their feet.
1. We are powerless over alcohol-our lives have become unmanagable.
We are all here because our focus was on the alcoholic in our lives and not on ourselves, as it should be. We are living in situations that are, in varying degrees, unacceptable and we are morphing them until they ARE acceptable. Not an easy task, it takes alot of energy.
Do research..Researchwoman...read and learn about this disease. Meetings and literture, and posting here can all help to lighten the load you seem to be carrying. It really does work...
