I understand….I am in a similar situation (read my blog, I know what to do….). My husband will not stop drinking, he thinks he can control it but he can’t. I know I have to end my marriage but I feel like I have failed. Also like you, if I kick him out he really has none else to turn to and we’ve no money to support a second home, even a bedsit. Like you, I have read things and been to Al Anon only to hear tales from people that have suffered for years living with an alcoholic. I want hope, I want someone to tell me that there is help out there and that things can work out, but I’m kidding myself, right? I’m new to this and sharing things isn’t easy but I can empathise with you so I hope in some small way this has helped.
