" Thank you all for replying. I know I am not alone and have the support of my family, even my ex-husband. I know things will be ok again and back on track.

I can't expect all to understand my problems, but it just hurt that if someone says they love you, and is a big christian how they couldn't find it in themselves to be there for you. The hardness of his heart really hurt. I never expected it. "

" Everyone has a past, when someone sees someone else struggling with something sometimes its to hard for the other to see it.. it could be bringing up things in them 'fear" of maybe looking into themselfs as well... i did that many times, left relationships because i myself could identify myself in their struggles.. God does work in some interesting way thats forsure.... (((hugs to you))) "

" You know, your friend might have done the most loving thing he could do for you - to remove himself from your life so that you can recover.

Insecurity in a relationship probably means that you are not ready to be in one yet anyway.

If all those complicated feelings you had were still in your life, you might be tempted to concentrate on making the relationship right rather than work on your alcoholism.

One day you might be very grateful to him, even though his behaviour seems callous and uncaring now! "
