This is a group for families and friends affected by someone elses drinking.
Totally Confused what is happening to me.

Well, I've just passed my anniversary date for not having any alcohol. And I have absolutely no desire to drink.
My husband's drinking has become like a run away train. I've tried every scenario to convince him he needs to stop.
I tried his health (doc has given him several warnings, near death experience); I've told him, that I'm left alone now raising his two teen age sons 15 & 17 who are both ADHD, plus dealing with a drunk on top of it. I've told him that i married him, not his sons.
I simply have said, you need to do something about your drinking....he said I'm working on it (this was yesterday),....I said you're working in the wrong direction. He's been drunk every night, 4 out of 5 past nights. I asked him to stay sober as this is exam week for his boys & I need a stable house while I tutor them in their math....they need hours of it. He was sober the next night, and drunk the past two nights.
I love my husband dearly, I love our home which he has renovated beautifully....it is such an elegante home.
I sleep on the couch because he snores soooo loud when he drinks, so I sleep on the couch every night. I have fibromyalgia, so I'm struggling trynig to get enough strength just to survive. I have nothing left to try to figure things out.
Or, I just really don't want to face what I have to do.....this will be the second marriage I left because of an alcoholic spouse.
I want to find a remote place in another part of the world.
HELP!!

I could not influence, bribe or influence the alcoholic in my life.
I had to take care of myself. The greatest thing I did for myself was to go to and attend Al Anon. There you will get support.
Your sons could attend Alateen.
Blessings of Courage.
