[quote=Anonymous]wow, reading this thread was disheartening. I am in my 50s and I have never being drunk in my life, not even as a teenager. I also tend to be on my high horse but in this case I am appalled by the posters bashing the alcoholic guy "because it is a choice". I understand that alcoholism, like other addictions, wreck havoc on people and their families and that after dealing with an addicted person for years family members may have enough or just have to recognize that there is little they can do, so I would not blame OP's  DH if, in the specific circumstances of his case, he decided not to go because he recognized there was nothing he could do and so on. but reading the coldness of OP was almost frightening (OP you say that your own family would know better than involving you in their problems and frankly I can see why, just hope that if one day you end up being the one needing help you will find people better then you). and so many posters insisting that alcoholism is totally a choice and thus a weakness of the alcoholic, who can stop cold turkey if he only decides it.
