Question by Alex: How do I get my husband to see a doctor for his addiction?
My husband is a big time alcoholic, we are separated for now, but he drinks at least a 5th of jack a day and some. He has been doing it for a couple years now. I have tried everything to get him to go to the doctors, even leaving him. But we do have children, and they don’t understand. He has sleep apnea, high liver enyzmes, blood pressure is outragous, and is starting to forget simple things. I am afraid for him. Any suggestions that could help him get to the doctors?
The whole bottle of jack is what he drinks.
