Upside,

Your thinking is getting close to manipulating. Since he has already gone to counseling, I don't equate this with the alcoholic who isn't ready. Some alcoholics try a million times. Some signs of readiness were shown. But I really so no problem asking a simple question.

Upside: H, would you do me a favor and see MC?

Answer 1: Yes.
Your response: Thank you.

Answer 2: No.
Your response: ok.

Done.
