I've been living with my wife's alcoholism for so long that I must have registered at some point in the past and forgot. I found it again thanks to an email that was sent to me by the administraters. maybe they should send out these more frequently. anyway I have been through hell and back over the course of the last 18 years but I am still here but only by the grace of God.
anyway I am now on a better path after multiple suicide attempts and hospitalization. wife still drinks... but I have learned how to better deal with it. I know how easy it is to slip back into old ways of thinking so I am glad that I found this board again. my life is far from perfect but despite bad circumstances I still feel healthy mentally. want to stay this way and hopefully this board will be a help in doing that.
hi everyone
Another person's alcoholism affects everyone around them. I'm so sorry to hear of your life experiences. Stay close to this board and maybe you could find some face to face meetings and learn even more there.
thanks for the welcome. face to face meetings are out for the moment i s the my car engine literally blew up yesterday when I turned the key to start it. so online is where I will have to start.
I and my family are living at my mothers home after ours burned about 7 months ago. i do have a wonderful mother who is supportive. I am unemployed annd unemployment has run out, so don't have money but we do at least have a place to live and food to eat thanks to food stamps. I am counting my blessings today instead of wallowing in self pity. wife's alcoholism is just background noise as I try to rebuild my life. in thhe hospital I learned that I have to take care of me or I won't be able to do anythhing for anyone else. so that is my number one priority.
