[quote=Anonymous]I've been there and done that. Most people responding have no idea how to deal with addicts. It's nothing like cancer and you can't love it away. It's actually the opposite, everybody in his family needs to say you either stop drinking or you can't come visit us/be part of family gatherings/etc. There literally is nothing you can do, yes it's terrible he is an addict but he needs to decide for himself that he is going to stop drinking. What exactly does your DIL want you to do? I think people watch the show intervention too much and think that is how it all goes down, it's not. Your DIL need to divorce him and he needs to decide to either stop drinking or go to rehab if he can't stop on his own. There is really nothing for you to do. If he is truly and addict and needs to detox he can do that at Suburban Hospital, they have an in-patient program and then they will refer him to an outpatient program for follow-up. [/quote]
