What can I do about my alcoholic wife?

Answer by  malone (4817)

People who are involved with addicts are called "codependent" and believe they power over the addict. The fact is: you don't and never will. You have no power over anyone but yourself. Exercise your power, start attending AlAnon meetings and learn how to care for yourself.

I would send my wife to a detox clinic, after I had reassured her that I am here for her and I would not let anything bad happen to her.

I would recommend having her go see a therapist, or go and attend an AA meeting with her, or have her go.
