Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Hi.
I just met the man of my dreams. Or so I thought. He promises me every morning that he loves me, and he promises me every evening that he doesn't. When I get ready to leave he promises he will be better, and he is, at first, but then he will have a bad night. Those bad nights feel like days, when sleep seems the only escape but flees at each of my attempts. These nights he cannot be with me, but he cannot be without me, and all I want is for him to snap out of it 'boom' he's himself again- that doesn't happen though, and I can't make it happen with the snap of my fingers, I can't do ANYTHING. An example would be how he's just walked into the room and called me the biggest slut in the world, said I was the wrong age for him, told me to leave. He doesn't mean those things, he'll tell me tomorrow, because he's the only man I've been with, and we're fine ages, and tomorrow he'll want me to stay. Now though, I feel like I just want to die, I've built my life around him, but not this him, the good him. He is both Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde, but he is mine and I don't want to leave him, and he knows hes an alcoholic but has no impetus to change, even though I've tried all I know how to do.
Please help me, please will somebody who's been in his shoes tell me what I need to say to make him change?
Thanks.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
One night we were watching Monday night football and he just snapped no reason just snapped. I was picked up by an ambulance and had surgery the next morning. He broke the tibia and fibia in my leg... they put a rod and pins in my leg. Ironically the next night he got arrested for DUI. I kept calling and calling him. I told him I didn't press charges the state did...I took him back.
My point is if you remember Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde are the same person... Are you willing to live with that ....????????
Tk a very loud one ,i was there for him twicebut the last time i had to let go for my own sanity ,in the end i had to allow him to have his own rockbottom ,because the more i was around him the more could feel his pain
and i canot do that and i cannot make him sober ,or make him change he has to want to do it for his self
i have been sober myself for 22 yrs and i go to aa [my life line] today we are together he has remained sober for 3 yrs
nothing to do with me but because he so wants to help him self remember we can not do for others what they can not do for themselves .have you tried alinon to help you ,take care xx
