- AH has been in the hosp. 23 times this year due to liver failure. Yesterday he got news he is officially on the transplant list. Our whole 35 year marriage has been hell and it's even worse now. When he was in the hosp. I felt free and like a kid....
- Get out your crystal balls because this could be YOUR future ladies . . . so pay attention. You all know my story of being married to a massive drunk for over 25 years. We are both in our 50s now, we have no kids, it's just us. It's around this age...
- To all the young women out there who have a boyfriend who drinks too much but you love him anyway, LISTEN UP!!!!I am a seasoned 52 year old wife of a major alchoholic and some day your young and handsome prince's booze will attack his body, mind,...
- As many of us do, I have been journalling my feelings about being married to a drunk for YEARS. I recently went through and read old journal entries from the 1990's that still apply to this day. I feel that journalling is a great way to get our...
- My AH had the balls to give me a stern talking to for telling his brother that he had salty snacks on his table. He was very angry with me because I was "telling on him" for eating salt when he is not supposed to per the doctor's instructions. I...
- Have any of you lovely ladies gone through this with a drunk husband or relative? I don't know what to expect. How long did you have to wait? What is the recovery time? Instead of searching webmd I thought there must be some of you who have gone...
- What is the biggest thing we all wish for? For our AH to stop drinking and get sober. Oh how great life would be if he didn't drink anymore. He would be a better husband, father, friend, etc. THEN our lives will improve. Then Prince Charming...
- When and if your AH gets sober, will they be the men we fell in love with? NO FUCKING WAY. He has said things to me that are way more cruel than anything he ever said to me when drunk. This evening after I served him his dinner because he has...

- Been with mine for 31 years and he has just reached the point where he CANNOT take another drink because his liver is shot and his stomach is extremely distended (he looks 15 months pregnant. Twice in the past couple of months he had to go to the...
- Being married to these monsters, we know every look, stance, walk, etc. We know when they are drunk, buzzed, or sober. We are the audience and after years of watching THE SAME MOVIE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, we know what they look like drunk. Tonight,...
- Recently, I mentioned to other members that we should start a funny drunken moments thread. Yes, what we are going through IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER. No one knows that better than us. However, some funny things do happen when they are drunk and you...
- The way I deal with life is having a sick/dark sense of humor. People who are or have been abused usually develop "gallows" humor to deal with the pain and sometimes, some darn funny stuff happens if you step back and look at the situation from a...
- After so long and the routines ebb and tides are the same and your life becomes miserable waiting for the "next time" he fucks up. I was wondering if any of you have or had a hard line in the sand. Once that line is crossed, nothing they say or do...
