second thing is getting counselling help. There are many other problems in our life. Only alcoholism is not a problem. Many problems come along with alcoholism problem. Like economical problem due to alcoholism, problem between relations, problems with children, legal problems. There are many problems like this. So stopping alcoholism is not the only solutions. For eg. you have loans due to his alcohol problem. If he stops drinking alcohol, will the loan problem be solved? To pay that loan what all he should do and what he shouldn't do. With the help of counsellor, we can prioritise and see which loan can be paid first. For such things, conselling support is needed for 2 years. Thirdly AA fellowship is a must.

In chennai almost 6 to 7 meetings are happening on daily basis. This was started in 1935 and it is now worldwide. When you attend the meetings and listen to them you will get confidence that even you can quit drinking. To control alcoholism all these 3 things are must for 3 years. Meeting support is advisable for lifetime. Even relapse is considered as recovery because it always teaches them a lesson.
Adlin: For some people already we should have taken them for treatment. May be sometimes we should have taken them for treatment 3-4 times in the same centre or different centres. But again and again he is going back to that habit. You might think why is it like this or sometimes you may think the treatment is not given properly. But the characteristic of this disease is there will be relapse. Just think well, is there any cure for diabetics? No!

Just like diabetics, we cannot cure it but we can control it. The reason for relapse is he didnt follow the after care system properly. Out my 15 years experience i can say that till 2 years even if he is not drinking we need the help of treatment centre. He needs to take Esprol medicine for next 2 years which helps him to control this habit. You can meet counselor monthly once or if you are in Chennai meet once in 10 days. And get the medicines, give the information of what he did in 10 days and get the short terms goals of next 10 days. When they are in constant care of the centre they may leave this habit.
Adlin: Many times wives think that husband should be treated but the husbands wont cooperate with them. How can we take them for treatment. We can bring some changes in our things. For example, if we are giving them money or if he is easily getting money, we need to cut the money supply. At that time the requirement arises. And he thinks that he has no money with him and he cant drink anymore. So he will come for treatment. Women can create a difficult situation. Many wives says they never thought of leaving their husbands but when she told him about leaving him that triggered him and they are using it as a weapon. We can do like this too. We are talking about creating a difficult situation for the husbands. Secondly, many times with the fear of losing job we call their office and tell them he is not feeling well.

We may think that earlier he was drinking entire bottle but now he has reduced it so maybe he is going to stop it. But in reality, it shows that the problem is in its peak. Because their liver is affected and because of this they cannot drink more than that. What can a wife do? Proper medication and counseling is compulsory.
