[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly recommend Babette Wise, a therapist who specializes in addiction and does both individual and group therapy for alcoholics and spouses of alcoholics.  She helped me tremendously when I was going through the same thing you are.  Things turned around once DH started seeing her.  He wanted to quit through willpower and didn’t think he needed a program.  We made a deal that he could try it his way but if he relapsed, he had to go straight to rehab.  Sure enough, he relapsed, went to inpatient rehab, then did 90 in 90 (90 AA meetings in 90 days) and has been sober for 11 years.  He still does AA (is at a meeting now) and has found a great group of men who have become not only a support network, but friends.  It was a long and scary road to get here though.  You can’t make him get help, but you can get help for yourself.  It’s great that you’re going to Al-Anon.  I urge you to also see a counselor who specializes in addiction whether your husband will go with you or not. [/quote]

Yes I've heard of 90 in 90.  I'm not OP.  DH has to be willing to try it.  Get a sponsor.  I don't know anyone who stayed sober without AA.[/quote]
