Alcohol Abuse

[Guest]

My husband drinks on a daily basis and recently he has been binging too much, so much his liver function tests are coming abnormal but he just doesn't wanna see the sense. He is also diagnosed with Diabetes and as his LFTs are high he is on human insulin..... that too he is just 33 years old. With no family history of alcoholism i dunno what to do as he has shoved me out of his life. though he earns well and belongs to a reputed family and a big organisation, he may have work pressures. He drinks as soon as he comes home and if I stop then he hides and drinks or even better stops in a club on his way home. I live in india and drinking is a social stigma in our family. Please help me help him

In America, I would recommend Alanon which is an organization of family members of alcholics. I do not know if there is Alanon in India. I cannot really help over the web. I can only say that maybe a trusted relative or friend or his personal physician could have a talk with him and tell him he needs help.

I know this is a late post, but I have been a person who has drank beer everyday for, at least, 50 years and I am now 71 years old. Everyone is different. Unfortunately, the medical profession has used smoking, drinking alcohol and being overweight to explain those medical problems they can not explain. Think about it! If you develope complications due to a medication the first thing they ask you is do you smoke or drink alcohol and if you say yes, than they say, un-huh, it your fault for your condition. The medical profession has come a long way, but it has a long way to go before it solves most of our diseases.
