Having seen my problems with an affair a friend of mine asked me to talk to her husband who has an alcohol problem for years.
My disastrous situation had an impact on him but only temporarily he is now back to coming home late and drunk after drinking at work everynight
His business has become an idol and he tries ti justify his actions that he needs to take stock after work and this is always accompanied by beers
Now I know from my own alcoholic experience and damaging my marriage for 18 years before my wife kicked me out seperated until I did something about it I would never have done something about it
Is it right to advise her to kick him out and try he same remedy which worked in instance?

bassie, I wouldn't recommend that she kick him out. She should go to Alanon and get some support. She may very well have to kick him out, but it will help her to be around other people who have dealt successfully with this.

I agree with Mel, and I grew up in an alcoholic home.
First step for her is Al-anon. She needs expertise and lots of support in this.
