[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are several red flags, as you and others have identified. Inability to stop drinking once you start and having difficulty cutting back are some of the earliest signs of alcohol use disorder. So, even if it’s not as severe as some, it’s concerning and worth attention from both of you. There are lots of treatment options out there that he may find more appealing than the traditional AA or “rehab.” He could do individual therapy, you could do something called Couples Alcohol Behavioral Therapy, he could take an FDA-approved medication, attend SMART recovery groups (similar to AA but no religious component), do evidence-based computer-based treatment (CheckUp and Choices, CBT4CBT), intensive outpatient programs, or some combination of the above. I’d work with him to try one or more of those options. There are lots of ways to get help, and recovery is absolutely possible. Good luck to you both.[/quote]
