Alcoholism Support Group

I'm sorry about you hubbie. That hurts. My ex wife cheated on me and yeah, that sucked. I'd say the worst part was watching my 3 little daughters suffer through it. It was all alcohol fueled by the way.

Now what do you want to do about it?

did he hit you? LEAVE if he hit you. I am serious.

Well i am sorry to hear about the affair - but I am also sorry to hear about the bruises - don't let him blame your drinking on his affair or the right to physically harm you -

On the other hand - if alcohol is a culprit in all that is - maybe you need to evaluate the entire situation.

Peace to you on your sober journey.

I think that you are back because you are reaching out. This is the first step for you I believe. I hope that you can find the courage to leave someone who abuses you, cheats on you and is obviously sending you back to the bottle. Is this all worth what you are feeling? Keep coming back. Reaching out is the best thing for you because you won't be able to get help without putting your hand out. God Bless.

You're here because you want to be here. You're here because there is support here and people who want to support you. You're here because, like all of us, you're tired of feeling broken. I'm just making a few guesses. I am very sorry to say the least about your husband's affair and I'm guessing that those bruises came from him?? Or were you hitting him or what happened? If he hit you then you leave. No one deserves abuse. Only you can decide if you want this marriage to go on. I don't know if you've always had a difficult time or not so I can't say much until I know more. You can also decide when to give up the drink and move towards a better life either through aa or whatever is going to work for you. You can do this. Hang on and don't let go.

The truth is that the reason you didnt stay sober is that you didn't do enough to stay sober. Acoholism is a powerful illness and it will kill us if we let it. I know for me it requires action if I want to survive. Hopefully you have come back because you know you cant do this on your own and are willing to take the help and suggestion offered by others who have been able to stay sober. I know what it it like to be broken but it is the best place to be to start to rebuild.

In terms of your husband, that is always going to be a tough situation but I guarantee you will be able to deal with it better if you are sober.

Not to be a B--but your damned lucky to be back--so many die of this wretched disease. Instead of asking yourself why you're back, ask yourself if you really want to recover fully and if you're willing to go to any length to stay sober.

I pray you find sobriety again. It looks like there is a tremendous network of people here who truly care and will help you through the pain. I'll be right there along with them.

You have no idea how your post helped me. Thank you.

greatful, I don't know what to say about the bruises as I have no experience with that and don't know your situation, but if you are being physically abused, please leave & focus on you.

You can get back to the happiness that you had if you want it bad enough.

hi Greatful, good to see you checking in.

seriously, if a woman you cared about came to you with these situations piled high and fragrant on her plate, what would your best advice to her be?

and do you care enough about yourself to do it?
