need help supporting a friend
      18/07/2008 14:24

I haven't posted for a very long time although I do read the posts regularly, my close friend has a big problem.
Her husband is an alcholic. He acknowledges what he is, has been in rehab about 2 yrs ago and is falling off the wagon big time now...
All the advice she is given, is to try to make a life for herself and not to try to stop him, if he looses his job or his driving licence then that is his choice...
But that isn't what she wants, she loves him and wants him and their life back.
He isn't abusive but he is lying about going to AA she thinks he goes to a pub. He has just moved to a less stressful job, but he blames every little stress, even a late train, on a need to drink..
I listen to her but haven't got any advice to give.
I just wondered if anyone has been in this situation and I know this must be hard but if you can share anything that might help?
Jen
