Thanks everyone. We are getting help. We have our first session tomorrow. Hopefully after that we will attend different sessions, but we want to get some direction advice about where to go from here.
Since he decided to stop drinking we have been at family dinners where alcohol has been served and some drank and some didn't. My A didn't drink.
Is there a difference between someone who has an alcohol problem and someone who is an alcoholic ie. addict? A counsellor I spoke to said some ppl have a problem which they can finally "manage" alcohol - this was from a clinic which specialises in addiction. She also said that she didn't agree with the theory that alcoholism can't be "cured". I am a bit confused. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys - I have felt most welcome here.
