Wife is going it alone dealing with an alcoholic

Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: My sisterin- law is her alcoholic husband’s enabler. He has health conditions that make walking difficult. He falls down often and can’t make it to the bathroom. Being drunk all the time (he consumes a fifth of vodka every two days) also prevents him from getting the surgery he needs.

My SIL buys his liquor for him. She says if she doesn’t, he will drive himself, endangering others. She has tried talking with his doctors, friends, family, priest and rehab facilities. He won’t go or listen. Taking care of him is wearing her down. He needs a medical facility that also treats addiction.
