I just don't what to do anymore. He is killing himself slowly in front of me. Says he wants to quit, but never seems to succeed. What can I do so I don't lose him forever?
What are you doing for yourself? Just as the alcoholic continued to drink, I continued to try and control that drinking. It isn't possible.
If Al Anon was not a good fit, there are other support programs out there, as well as indvidual therapy, which also has done wonders for me. If the reason Al Anon didn't do it is because you were looking for ways to get him to quit, maybe try another 6 meetings.
