Hi there,
Sorry to hear about what you’ve been going through. I just wanted to let you know that I know what it’s like to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle and that you’re not alone.
My situation is different to yours but my husband’s drinking has affected me and my family too.After years of drinking and health problems because of his drinking ,he finally admitted he had a problem and the doctor referred him to a drug and alcohol centre. I thought I was fighting a losing battle but this was finally a turning point.There’s been lots of ups and downs and there’s no quick fixes but I am beginning to feel more hopeful after his second detox but even now some days are overwhelming, even though he’s now stopped drinking.
Anyway ,I just wanted to let you know that I understand how hard it is when someone you love struggles with alcohol. My husbands dad died in 2001 and his younger sister ten years ago ,so I think that’s how his drinking changed from being social to being something he needed every day.
I don’t know all the answers and I’ve only just joined the forum myself but it’s good to be able to share our struggles together.Hope your partner gets the help he needs and that you’ll be ok too
