How can I help my husband give up alcohol?

Change begins within you; when you transform your own approach, the world around you can shift effortlessly.

— Osho
According to Osho, you can’t make your husband quit; the urge to change him is ego and breeds resistance. Drop the crusade, stop nagging, and transform yourself instead. Accept him lovingly—especially if he harms no one—and the humiliation-pressure that fuels drinking will dissolve. In a relaxed, noninterfering atmosphere, change becomes possible on its own; otherwise your ‘help’ only pushes him deeper into the habit.

Stop trying to fix him; be calm and kind, and he may change when he’s ready.
