I sit alone every night while he drinks… I know there is no way out for me without hurting our kids and grandkids. I am just too old to run away from it all now but I need someone to talk to.
My husband drinks everyday after work. Which starts the bickering. I am lost at what to do. My marriage is on shaky ground. I hope to find some support about my husband’s drinking.
Hi, my boyfriend of 10 years is an alcoholic. He abruptly stopped drinking 1 year ago. His behavior became worse than when he was drinking. I couldn’t take it anymore and asked him to move out and now I feel guilty but also relieved for myself.
Hi. I am hopeless, angry and exhausted.
Taking care singlehandedly of addict, depressed, bipolar 2, ADD, ODD individual.
No $$ compensation.
No help from family members or friends.
And I have my life to live. One day (hopefully).
My wife finally went to detox and rehab after a couple of years of drinking uncontrollably. The frustration I felt was second to none. All I wanted to do was fix the problem but I could not. We have been married for 10 years and have 3 beautiful children a house and good jobs. She struggles with anxiety and depression and the drinking only enhances that. I’m a pretty mentally tough individual, but this isn’t like anything I have experienced. I’m proud that she finally is taking a stand.
My husband is an alcohol addict since 30 years. He is 52 years old. He doesn’t take any responsibility. He ruined our life and properties. He takes loan about 50 lakhs nowadays. We can’t attend any function, marriage or festivals. He’s drunk all the time. I don’t understand how can we tackle our life.
Trying to stay calm while the drinking goes on.
I’m a desperate wife of a stage 1 cirrhotic who has relapsed after 6 months of medication. He has been drinking for a month now and cannot stop no matter how much I beg and plead and fight. I’ve been living in stress and anxiety. It’s taking a toll on our 11 year old daughter as well. I feel lost after 20 years of living with a man who is now a complete stranger. Creepy suicidal thoughts, frustration, hopelessness and isolation are the new normal for me right now. I just realised that I’ve become a total recluse. I have… Read more »
I’m ready to throw the towel in with my alcoholic. He’s not even trying and I’m tired of this merry go round life with him. I don’t want him to bring me down anymore than he has. I don’t want this life with him.
May God bring you the peace you deserve.

I’m looking for meetings online .. zoom ?
My husband was taken by ambulance last night. He is in the ICU in critical condition. He had a grand mal seizure last night. He was trying to quit drinking. He has been an alcoholic for years, I was going to leave him if he didn’t stop drinking.
And now here I sit. I can’t even see him or enter the hospital. I don’t know what to do. But crying and staring at the same wall for the past 8 hours isn’t helping.
I feel helpless and hopeless.
I’m 59. My wife is an alcoholic.
It sucks when my whole family on both sides are alcoholics, me not so much!!!! I had to grow up quick. I’m the oldest of my siblings and I had to make sure they were taking care of.

It’s frustrating because I want to attend online meetings when I’m really struggling, as I am now, and that’s the only 24/7 meeting. Help please! Can you help with instructions on how to log into the meeting in Voxer.
