I never read the book. But I think any effort to stop drinking is a plus. How are things going with you I see it was awhile sence you posted,..

please do try and quit for your reasons . I left my guy for three weeks told him he needed to make some decisions and drinking was one he needed to let go of ...he had let it cost his job and when I came into his life he was just out of a random relationship one of many to include failed marriages some for drinking issues which bleed into finances ect well even his sex life is shot from it at 55 he can't get hard most days or stay hard long ....good thing I love him cause sex ain't constant here but the point I strayed from is let something motivate you to a healthier life at least your man is still with you some times we have to leave to get your attention and it is not always a happy reunion ....I gambled on his love for me ...maybe you can too...or can you?oh no never read that book sorry should of started with that ......we get angry at the disease and you for letting it rule your days and nights but if we ever loved you we still do and are searching for ways to cope with sharing you with that drink.....not always right choices but then where is the book for those who love you alcoholics I need to own it ....hey best wishes in this adventure it could all be a memory of bad times in no time at all and it all works out for the best how ever it goes it will be one sober day at a time ....you can choose ...enjoy your life or regret it ....as someone who loves an alcoholic I would beg you to stop killing yourself with that poison asap and find satisfaction in a shared life with the one who is waiting for you to be sober.you must be worth waiting for he is still there......meet him half way ...stop for one day or half a day what ever you can manage just do something positive choose life ...wazzywoman

I am an alcoholic, I go to AA meetings all the time and I have that book on my bookshelf. I don’t agree that nutritional changes are enough to keep an alcoholic sober, but they play an important role in early sobriety. I use the suggestions in that book with my sponsees. Stop eating processed flour and start eating dark leafy vegetables. Good common sense advice.

That book is full of good information, keep it and use it. But why not try Alcoholics Anonymous as well? Your husband is going to AlAnon, mostly they are in the same building, you go to your meeting while he goes to his.
