Topic: Health & Wellness / Partner addicted to alcohol

My partner has become addicted to alcohol. He becomes violent when he drinks and has very distressing mental health episodes. He is one of the best men I have ever known. But it is only when he drinks that he behaves in this way. He has been hospitalized once and was told by the doctor to stop drinking or else he would die. But he keeps on drinking. The doctor suggested me to take him to a good addiction therapy centre in Calgary( http://edgewoodhealthnetwork.com/what-we-treat/alcohol-addiction/ ) as he is in need of a professional help. It’s got to the point that I don’t know what to do. I’m struggling with his addiction problem. I’m scared and I’m at a loss as to what to do for my family. Has anyone else experienced the same? How did you people deal it? Please share.
