Of course she can. The doctor will likely refer here to AlAnon, where she can get help for herself.
She cannot help him. He has to want to help himself.

yes, but if the husband does not accept his addiction it wont do any good, you can have an intervention or do whatever you can to help him, but it is a personal decision to stop drinking. he cant do it for you , or he will only not drink around you and hide it the rest of the time, check out http://www.aa.org to get some answers, or http://www.alanon.org or type in alanon (its for families of alcoholics) there are meetings you can go to as well. check out http://www.threadsofhopeinrecovery.com and post a blog and people will answer...this is a cool new website i found, for all those in recovery. dont go thru this alone, you are one of many who are in the same situation, and talking to someone who has been there or is there now, is so good for your daily sanity....check it out, and God bless, you are doing the right thing by putting it out on the table, thats the only way to get results. but take care of you first....alcoholism is a family disease, it affects everyone...good luck, and dont wait any longer, doctors can tell him what its doing to his body, but aa and support groups can help him to recover, there is no cure, but you can live with the disease, one day at a time...take care...

yes you can call a doctor about your husband's alcoholism.And for self,I would reccommend going to AA meetings,I did and they helped me to understand why the person drinks.Talking to a clergy is also a good thing as well
