Wives of Alcoholics Community Group
A forum of healing and help for wives of alcoholics.
My name is Tina. I am the wife of an Alcoholic. For years I have tried to deal with this alone and it only seems to be draining me physically and mentally. This is the first time I have ever reached out to anyone because I feel ashamed for even staying. I should have been gone years ago, but never can muster the strength to leave him because his health is fading and for the last 5 years he has been losing his memory. At first it was when he was drinking, now his memory loss is happening when he is sober and I cant get him to a doctor because we haven't got the money and he has no insurance. Im at my wits end. He is violent when he is drinking and Im getting scared. He is a master at manipulating me or anyone else he can to get his alcohol. I am so tired and I dont know what to do or where to go.. Thank you for this group..and thank u for ur help.

The alcohol is starting to effect his brain . No one what to leave a sick
Person they love but you have to keep yourself safe.
My father had altzimers caused from alcohol. From the time he was
Diagnosised with it he survived maybe 2 years but he got to where
He could not take steps even that was difficult.
It's a hard thing to watch the ones we love go down hill fast and
He would get violent when he could not understand what was going
On. But once he calmed down after 5min he was ok.
But we had to put him in a nursing home due to me living so far
Away.
It's a hard life.
Many prayers and hugs we are all here for you
