I told my alcoholic husband that I would divorce him if he didn't stop drinking, because our young children had to be my priority. I gave him a book called Adult Children of Alcoholics, though he didn't read it. The threat was enough. He quit 10 years ago.

She needs help, but you cannot help her. You need to protect yourself and your children. You have to be prepared to leave. Not as a negotiating technique, but because it is essential to your children's lives that you do. Read about how the psychological effects on them. It is appalling. Tell your wife that you have to go.

My DH didn't do AA. He read "Rational Recovery" and worked with a therapist who specialized in addictions. [/quote]
