Can't afford help. Anything?
Please we have no insurance. No money. But my husband is an abusive alcoholic. Physically and mentally. I don't want to leave him, but I can't fix him. Any ideas where I can get him some rehab help?
Sorry, but you cannot get him rehab help. He has to do it on his own. You should get yourself to a safe place if your husband is abusive. No one should have to put up with that.
Suki is right - you can't make your husband seek help if he doesn't want to.
You can take care of yourself tho - please think about calling this number or checking out the website

AA is free or you can donate when the 7th Tradition is collected, but he's got to want to help himself, it's difficult if not impossible to force an alcoholic into recovery.
