My mother has a drinking problem and she stopped drinking altogether with Esperal. She said that AA was a waste of time for her and actually made it worse. This might not be so for your fiance but that's how my mum stopped drinking. I hope everything goes well for you. I know how destructive alcohol addiction and dependance can be and I spent most of my childhood with my mum being on and off the wagon. Esperal is how she stopped but you might want to look into it first. I wish you all the best!

Sounds like she needs help from a psychiatrist and psychotherapist for her anxiety so she won't have to drink and might be able to attend meetings and straighten things out so they are easier for her to deal with.

Your fiance' may need to go inpatient for detox from alcohol. There are alot of detox centers around the country -- that might be the place for her to go. Stopping abruptly CAN be dangerous for some people, depending on how much they drink, etc. I stopped by myself, which I shouldn't have because I drank ALOT -- and stopping like that can throw you into the DT's, seizures, etc.

You might look into a center for detoxing. Its just a suggestion. I hope she is successful ~ alcohol kills. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
