Poor girl I am sorry. It is hard to see s/b go thru that you cant fix them you just have to be patient and hope they find their way he will come to realize that whats really important will eventually bring him bak. hang in their.

I would strongly recommend AA, whether he works in a hospital or not.  He's not going to get fired for going to AA meetings.  He WILL get fired if he lets his drinking interfere with his job performance though.  

Quitting drinking is hard.  But he's going to have to quit totally.  Not one drink...EVER!!  That's the only way to whip it.  Otherwise it will control you and your life.  Alcohol will become the one love of his life and everything else will be second place.  No one wants that to happen.

You should strongly recommend that he quit drinking entirely and start going to AA meetings on a regular basis.  Alcoholism CAN be whipped!  It happens all the time!  Good luck.
