Maybe he is alcoholuc and maybe not. Onky he can say that. But even if he is, I suppose not all alcoholics want to quit. And if he doesn't want to he won't. Maybe that'll change over time. It took me to my 40s to really recognise why my life was unmanageable. And even then, only partially. It became much clearer to me once I'd stopped. Up til then I just thought I was doomed, or realky unlucky, or jinxed or something, and that alcohol was the one good thing in my life. Ha!
