long story short: married for 6 years, ds will be 4 in autum
i have problem with dh going out and drinking
he has been refusing to stop or do anything about it and we have been rowing about it for a while now and very close to spiting up

last night to prove me wrong he did some questionnaire on line which only proved HIM wrong! stating he has dangerous drinking patterns etc

now i dont think hes alcoholic but probably on a good way there

hes finally agreed to see professional
how do i arrange that? will he have to go see GP first? he wont go to AA

You must not arrange anything re appts for him. He needs to take responsibility here; you cannot and should enable him by making any appt. Enabling him will only give you a false sense of control. He has to do it, actions speak far louder than words here.

If he chooses not to do anything then you have your answer re his drink problem.
The ball then is very much in your court but this situation is not going to get any better. You and your son will end up being further dragged down by this man.
