Husband has been an alcoholic, has bulbar als, i thought it might be ok for him to have a drink now, since it makes him feel better, and helps him eat. Now i think I've made a mistake. I just dont want him to suffer any more and was willing to let him have whatever he wanted. But when i go to work, he takes off in his car and buys alcohol. He is really severely drunk tonight, and i don't know how to take care of him. I hid all the car keys. that's a start.
Also thinking about starting hospice care, not sure how to get started. I want them to give him whatever helps him not suffer.
He has also indicated he wants to go to Oregon to have Death with dignity, assisted suicide. Don't know how to do that either. we live in California.
He was diagnosed with ALS October 2014. It has progressed fairly rapidly i think. He can still walk, but has problems breathing and swallowing, and lost ability to speak.
