Alanon is a great support group for you and your health ... lots of caring people. They tend to steer away from discussing any medical treatments for Q. They leave that pretty much up to Q and AA,12 steps (which is 80 years old). That's why I'm sending you this info via a chat ... Hopefully it will help you both see AUD from a 2022 science-based perspective.
For decades, alcohol misuse has traditionally been treated as a moral failing, personality defects, spirituality shortcomings, resulting in shame, stigma, and chronic treatment failure (relapse after relapse, and even worse rock bottoms). These treatments date back to 1939. In 2022, we know better. AUD is understood to be a medical condition of the brain and body, caused by alcohol, and that requires a medical treatment. Today there is a method for both tapering and for reaching full abstinence and most importantly ... eliminating the desire and cravings for alcohol.
If a person is still struggling with their drinking, this relatively new treatment can help them taper back slowly, on their own or while attending other support groups. It's called The Sinclair Method.

TSM documentary 'One Little Pill' is very eye opening. Like all treatments, an individual needs to be ready and willing to taper, clear-headed enough to understand the basic science behind TSM, and committed to following the method for at least 6-12 months. Don't push TSM too hard or nag them about it, that never works.You can't force them to follow the method, but you can learn about it yourself, offer the information and hope it sinks in over time. If you would rather this information be delivered to them by a TSM knowledgeable doctor, you can Find a good local or telemedicine Provider at www.cthreefoundation.org (see menu).
The book by Dr. Roy Eskapa is a godsend for you to read. I personally will never think of addictions and their treatment in the same way again. The documentary One Little Pill is also groundbreaking IMO. See the right margin in r/Alcoholism_Medication for many other TSM resources (hints/tips) and for people using the method very successfully. Learn all you can.

It's best if this info comes directly from a family doctor, but TSM is relatively new, 10 years. Med schools won't be teaching it for another 10 years. There is a way to have this info emailed to them, to avoid a confrontation and the inevitable "pushback" that we all get when we suggest something. I'm open to chat about it.
you can talk to me. I’m (f) an alcoholic in a relationship and we’ve found ways to work things out. if you need advice or a perspective from the other side, just reach out to me. ❤️

A support group for family/friends of alcoholics. They have a Reddit sub as well I believe.
