Hi, I'm pretty new here too. Nice to meet you.
That sounds like such an awful way to live, I don't know how you can stand to be in the same house as him. That's good of you to come along to his appointment, did he call the doctor for help? In other words, is it his decision to stop drinking? I hope so.
Good luck with it all, this forum has helped me so much in such a short space of time (a couple of weeks). I'm sure you'll find the same.
