MY husband is an alcoholic and has been for many years he first started drinking as a teenager and now he is 51 years old and has been a daily drinker for the last 8 years...
he does not want to get help he is in denial and feels that there is nothing wrong with his lifestyle--can an alcoholic fully recover if and when they are ready to get the help..what kind of state would his liver be in after this many years of drinking...Daisy | ||

Yes they can recover, and only a doctor can evaluate his medical condition. I suggest you rummage around on the Families/Partners forum as you may find some others just like you.

yes if he wants to, for himself and not for you. although I have to say the statistics aren't great but it is possible. Liver damage, kidney damage, the emotional and spiritual damage is just as devastating believe me.

Alcoholism is a spiritual disorder ( with genetic aspects)
While there is excellent Treatment, there is no cure. Thru 12 step AA - on can achieve spiritual re-birth ! and stay clean and sober 1 day at a time. -------------------- Blessings, Dr. Irab retired psychiatrist freebaser of cocaine for 2 years +alcohol addict/alcoholic c/s 12 yrs thru 12 step.
