How To Overcome Alcohol Addiction?
Hello Doctor
I am from India. I recently got married. My husband says to me that he needs to drink two beer yesterday. But I am health conscious. I need my husband to maintain good health. I said no to him. This is the second time i am saying no to him in 8 months. I am very much afraid about his future. He is 33 years now. He has started drinking from 18. He has drunk all types of alcoholic beverages. He is also a chain smoker for more than 15 years. Now he stopped almost but not completely. I am afraid that already his inner organs would have started to decompose. If I allow him to take beer after this, will he be with me life long with good health. I want him to be of good health forever. What should I do??? Please suggest me.
