A person is regular drinker and is unable to seriously think about his families future welfare. If anyone raise a finger to his this habit he is anoyed and rebuts saying 'no body has the right to take my happiness which i get in drinking'.

Told my husband to go to an AA meeting just to listen and he stopped and only drinks casually now. Its called fear of DIVORCE and loosing everything. But you better mean it,.

You can not make him quit. What you can do is get a family intervention. What that is, a professional counselor, family, friends and co- workers all meet together with the "alcoholic". They are given time to explain to this person how their drinking is affecting their lives. The person then is given options, continue drinking, losing those around, go to AA or a rehab. For some alcoholics it is a eye opener and they never realized how their actions affected people.
By the way NEVER, EVER slip someone antabuse, you could literally kill them!! My husband was on that for a year, and couldn't eat anything that contained any alcohol, something as harmless as vanilla extract in a cookie sent him to the hospital

he's hopeless, like me, but I'm going to ask my doctor if it's possible to have me admitted to the hospital for some other reason (as as excuse) cause it sure would help me if i could be away from that store right across the street for a week. I took antabuse before and drank on it cause i thought i hadn't been on it long enough...about 4 or 5 days. I thought i was dying!

Speaking from me, im a guy and i have the exact same problem. I need to be buzzed or drunk to be happy . So he might never stop. Or maybe he will. You have to question yourself.what is it that hes so unhappy about? is it something thats happened in his past? Theres always a reason behind everything. Mine is anxiety and fear,,what is his? GOOD LUCK

What I recommend is to call a counselor, or an alcohol helpline if he really needs help. If he is drinking daily, and not thinking about his family, it may be a good idea to seek counseling, and if that don't help, or he doesn't want to seek counseling, Try to reason with him, and tell him how concerned you are.

My husband got hypnotized for his smoking habit and hasn't smoked in 3 months after a 15 year habit so being hypnotized might work for drinking as well.

sneak him antabuse and maybe he'll think he's become allergic to alcohol.
How It Works
Disulfiram changes the way your body breaks down (metabolizes) alcohol. If you drink alcohol while you are taking disulfiram, you will experience uncomfortable symptoms, including severe nausea, vomiting, and headache. These symptoms discourage you from drinking alcohol by making it unpleasant

That is a good question, drug addicts, alcoholics... Do they recover 100% even when they got brain damage? After you really damaged your brain is there a way back? I think if he does not want to change there is nothing we can do...

Pretty sad. Life must be pretty miserable if it takes a drunken state to make him happy. There is not much you can do for him. You can't help him unless he wants it.
