I just don't understand the control alcohol has over my husband! Why even bother seeing a doctor and paying hundreds of dollars for medicine and testing if your going to continue to put that poison in your body. I always tease that my AH of 32 yrs has drank so much that he's pickled his insides... His last upper GI they found some pre cancer and he went Friday for an ablasion, I tried scaring him by reading the hand outs from the doctor for what to expect. We'll that didn't work, the doctor had prescribed a GI cocktail to take if needed to numb his throat if he was feeling pain. I guess he discover this would help with pain as he drank just hours after the procedure and continued to drink all weekend. Luckily I went out of town for the weekend so I didn't have to see the stupididy!
It just blows my mind! For someone that doesn't believe in wasting money he sure does waste a fortune on the damage that his life choice has done to his body.
On a happier note, I'm trying to make a life for myself. I don't engage anymore in arguments that make me feel like i'm the problem and I caused this, I don't cry every single time he hurts my feelings and I don't ask him to do any with me or for me, I don't ask for permission to have fun. I'm learning who I am and what makes me happy and its deffinitly not this life that i've been living. We are over after 32 yrs we only live together until I can make a life finacially for me and my 2 teens grandaughthers that we adopted. His choose his addiction over me and his family now i'm choosing happiness!
good for you! you matter too and don't forget it.
these men want their bottle and a mother to coddle them. we can choose to make them walk on their own two feet or fall on their face.
it is sad to see something go , but like cutting off a gangrenous limb it will poison you otherwise. If youd have told me early on, that id feel like this about him, id thought you were crazy. He cant WALK when he drinks too much or drinks like he used to, he has had to cut back , and still only because i have ti stay on him like a child. Weve spent money after money on bond and drivers privelages and ,DUI's and Domestic assault charges and missed work due to gout flare ups , and dr's appts for emergency meds for gout flare ups and e,.r visits due to the extreme pain , its a precursor to diabetes usually, and each time he just ups his med sand says "its ok, i have my meds!!!'..he medicates so he CAN DRINK!!!not quits drinking so he doesn't have to medicate or get worse!..i have told him hes doing immense damage to his joints ...it could cause hi to LOSE A LIMB HE MAY NOTBE ABLE TO PLAY MUSIC...ever again..and yet..hell still rally to go donate plasma for money to by booze, or hell keep up with liquor store hours locations,ect.,times it out to be in possession of alcohol when its desired....he has a whole plan and cycle..always ..and puts no passion in any other thing he does as he does being drunk, hes a talented musician,,yet doesn't understand how horrible he is when hes drunk trying to play because to him,,hes a rock god in his drunken stupor hes awesome...and do not try to tell him any other thing
jus' saying to get fed ,,addiction makes them compromise all of their dignity....so after you leave ,, from a safe joyful distance wish him a moment of clarity and a sober future ,even if its elsewhere ,, forgive him eventually ,,for your own sake,,but be happy!!!love yourself you desrve it
