Yuki - good on you for your steps forward - when I have issues I think of Helen Reddy's song "I AM WOMAN" but the next line is "hear me roar" - it keeps my backbone straight & upright - as you go forth listen to that inner person & sometimes 'roar' to keep you as you not what what others expect -hugs for your journey

Yuki500: Good for starters. Alcoholism is a stubborn and inherited addiction for your husband. He needs the aide of a program like a Reformers Unanimous.

Lassie it’s called AVN, alcohol and heavy drinking go straight to the Cartlidge destroys the hips . Mostly in men as early as 40 yrs of age, my hubby is 62. He drank heavily for 40 yrs. 18 to 24 beers a night. He started in his teens. And it caught up to him.

Avascular Necrosis - the blood supply to the hips is compromised and the tissue/bone dies.

Shane1124, correct, also heavy drinking. And I asked his surgeon about it, and with his blood work it came back that of an alcoholic. So yes you can drink your hips away.
