I'm the wife of an alcoholic, and he relapsed last week, after 9 months sober...that's his usual time frame...he's like a cat with 9 lives, and I've got a feeling this is the 9th life for him....I've always had a feeling of hope when this has happened before, but this time feels different....he has really ramped up the quantity each day, and by the evening he is in and out of consciousness and even sort of hallucinating or dream talking...and memory is shot....he's had a ton of health issues not related to alcoholism over the years, which just add to the whole thing.....I'm so  sad, frustrated, and scared....I love him, doing a semi ok job of detaching with love, keeping a positive attitude....but I don't want him to die...he's my best friend and love of my life....it's hard to like the argumentative alcoholic side....just sad tonight....please pray for relief and grace for him and us
