As part of BBC Scotland's season on alcohol, Graham Stewart hears from the friends and relatives of problem drinkers.

He speaks to 'Sylvie,' who lived with an abusive, alcoholic husband for many years before calling in the police and separating from him. She describes the effect on her children and how she sought help from Al-Anon, an organisation she now works with.

And we hear again from Graham's friend and former colleague, Ray Daniels, who told us back in August how he felt abandoned by the NHS after being told he had less than three months to live as a result of his alcoholism. He updates us on his progress and explains how Alcoholics Anonymous helped him.
