Well, it's 8:30 AM here where I live. I got a call from our tax assessor as I was leaving work remindining me that March 28th is the last day that we can homestead our house. She didn't have my AH's number for some reason. Well the house was left to my AH when his father died, and it is still in his father's name, so AH has to get all of this in order. I called him, and right away I knew he was VERY drunk. I knew his drinking was getting progressively worse, but for him to be that drunk this early really surprised me. I couldn't even explain the situation to him, because he couldn't understand what I was telling him. He tried to tell me that I woke him up, and that's why he was having a hard time concentrating. I just told him to go back to sleep and I hung up. I'm going to call his grandmother and tell her so that maybe she can let him know when he sobers up, but that's as far as I'm going with it. Well, that's really all I can do, because he is the only one who can legally handle all of it. If he doesn't get it done by tomorrow, then he'll just have to pay the full property tax by August. Ughhh... I hate this disease. Oh well, I'm just going to take a hot shower and try to relax a while.
Thanks for letting me vent!

I know how you feel about trying to talk when there is nobody listening and/or understanding. For a long time I really thought the concentrating thing when waking up was for real. Boy have I learned. A lot of things didn't get done because of it and I was mad and worry for him at the time. Now, if it doesn't get done that's on him. He will sober up, get mad, try to blame someone and I in turn just let go and let God handle it. Just a smile and pat on the back and hug.
It's a sad state of affairs but you can't control it. You can only control you.
Ask you HP to help you relax..

it is a statement to your recovery that you can seperate the person from the illness. I also find it so hard to let them face the consequences of their drinking, however when I step aside HP steps in. you never know this may be what he needs to reach his rock bottom, and seek help. enjoy your bath hugs tracy xxxx
