Hello,

The chronic consumption of alcohol and smoking is a critical issue to handle for long term basis as far as abstinence is concerned.

Your husband requires multiple approach therapy for the same and online platform can not provide you such facility except following guidelines
- more of moral support at home and loving care
- psychologist opinion
- behavior therapy
- prescription of specific molecules as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, disulfiram and others from your doctor

You can join him a group as Alcohol anonymous group which is very famous worldwide and doing excellent work with such people.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
