I remember asking my AH (now coming up on one year sober) why he drank, why he wouldn't stop, explaining (begging) to him that he was killing himself. He very loudly said to me "I WON'T STOP, I LIKE TO DRINK".

I stood there stunned and realized how sick he really was. There was nothing more I could say or do, he had said it all with those 7 simple words. That was the day I knew boundaries had to be set for myself. It was the rocky beginning of the long road to recovery, one that is still in progress, but has smoothed out. Good luck to you.
