Posted by Sue3871 (373 days ago)

Hi,
My husband is very much stressed at work now, he usues this excuse to drink beer/alchol before he gets home.
Somedays it is one mug sometimes countless. However, now he wants to get some help.
Where in hk can I find help?

Most important your husband needs to attend AA. He needs to attend 90 meetings in 90 days. At this point he will be use to it. He must take it one day at a time. There will be relapses as he feels he understands the problem and an now can drink moderatly. This may happen a few times but each time he will know that AA is the answer. Make sure he gets a sponsor in AA. If he needs to detox then a hospital is best for that but if not then AA is the answer.

Not sure that everyone who enjoys a few beers too many is really an alcoholic.

The AA stuff looks like you are a joining a church

I don't know the clinical definition of alcoholism, but if a person feels he/she needs help, I suppose that's a clear sign.
