Just a thought ... this lady's husband may well have been an alcoholic, he may even be happily sober now, if so this is no guarantee that the situation with anyone else's qualifier will get better (statistics tell us the chances are pretty slight). While her heart's probably in the right place, I would take any advice like that with a huge grain of salt.
