Hi there Mayib, thanks so much for your comment. The point of this article was what I told my client - SHE can't stop him from drinking, only HE can do that. The poor woman had been driving herself crazy thinking that she could do something to help him.

I agree that some of us never choose to go down that path but the alcoholic doesn't realise that they are an alcoholic until it's too late. Like I said, no chooses to be an alcoholic.
