Answer by The Name’s Girly J!
alcohol should never ever enter the household again. Alcohol should not be purchased by the wife, by friends or anyone eating with the family when the family goes out to dinner. Support systems are critical. Friends, family, everyone is really getting sober when one person is getting sober. Everyone’s involved.
He just needs to remember that although it is brutally hard, and he will feel sick and depressed…he just needs to remember “alcohol or my family.” Wish him luck!
