Alcoholism: Unless he decides it is harming his and your health he is not likely to change. Difficult problem. If he has not told Dr. it is not likely he can get help. AA is a very good resource.

Consider Al-Anon: Unfortunately if he does not want to stop you may be powerless to change his behavior, but check out Al-Anon, an organization for family members of alcoholics that provides support and may give you ideas on how to help him. Ask his doctor to check for liver damage.A quality multivitamin and herbs like Milk Thistle seed extract may minimize liver damage, as can Liv-52, a herbal formula from India.
