It really works!
Permalink  

For over a year, I have been begging and pleading, bargaining and reasoning with my alcoholic husband, trying ANYTHING to get him to stop drinking. I figured out how to detach with love last week. He drank all week, then stopped yesterday. He feels lousy today, shaky and dehydrated, but he's pushing through. Amazing how it really only took me a week of following the al anon principles to feel so much better and for him to wake up! Thank you thank you thank you!

That is wonderful news!   Alanon works if you work it one day at a time.

Yay!!  I relate from my own experience which came about as that when I got out of the way from between my alcoholic/addict and her HP things started to change.  When I let her feel her own pain without adding any of the pain I generated she didn't have anyone else to look at...herself and her higher power.   Learned how to love her without needing her to be anyone other than herself. 

Thanks for the ESH.   (((((hugs))))) smile
