Is it possible to get an alcoholic to quit drinking even though they seem like they don’t want to?

Question by Heather: Is it possible to get an alcoholic to quit drinking even though they seem like they don’t want to?
my husband drinks pretty much almost every night, he knows I hate it and gets mad at me when I show it. He has said countless times before that he would quit but it only lasts for about a week or two if he even stops at all. especially lately he drinks about a 12 pack every time and starts slurring his speech and then passing out early for the rest of the night. He blames it on the stress and of course theres always going to be stress but the worst his stress the worst his drinking.
