Recovering alcoholic's, what is your advice for a spouse to help him...?

Does she just need to let him fall and stop picking up the pieces so he can realize what he is doing?

Wow this is a tough one. I personally have had to deal with someone very close to me with an addiction problem. But my advice for you would be to take care of your own addiction. How can you expect to ';fix'; his problem when you say that you still occasionally drink. I don't know if you do already, but maybe you should start going to some AA meetings, and try to get your loved one to attend as well. But, if he's not ready to change, and you are, then maybe its time for you to move on. I know that might not be the answer that you want to hear, but things will never get any better as long as you two are still drinking (you are enabling each other).
