My husband drinks a lot and also gets abusive after drinking. How do I help him get rid of this habit?

If you have not already spoken to him how he behaves when he has sobered down, then have a word with him that how his drinking habit is adversely affecting your life. And if you have tried it all and nothing seems to work, coax him to see a counsellor. You can tell a friend or a person who is aware of his abusive habit to talk to him. As if you will seek help from someone he wouldn't want to be involved, things can backfire as well. Sometimes, it happens so that in his sober state he would understand everything but when he gets drunk he would be his same abusive self, so it is not that he doesn't realise that what he does is wrong but then he has no control over himself. And it is best to seek the help of a counsellor. The are professionals and know how to handle such situations. Let the counsellor guide you if his will-power is not that strong that he would leave alchohol. Also, here the problem is not just alcohol but also his being abusive. If he is abusive that means in his personal life, he would be a dominant and egoist. So, you have to see a counsellor for this as well. His behaviour too needs corrective measures.
