[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 100430, member: 3647"] I totally agree with Heather. You cannot change an alcoholic. You cannot make an alcoholic want to stop drinking. And, if he has no reason to want to stop, why should he? He does not go to the bar because he likes the bar better than you. He goes to the bar because he is an alcoholic and he needs to drink. Until and unless he decides that he needs to quit, he will keep doing it. Alcoholism affects the ENTIRE family. You mentioned that his daughters do not talk to him. ANd you are obviously affected greatly by it. Seriously, get to an AnAnon meeting. You can start the process of healing even if he does not. You will meet people that are in the same situation as yourself, and you can network. You have NO idea how helpful it is. You don't necessarily HAVE to leave that man, but know this. If you choose to, you can make it. Even without him. Hang in there. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
