Hi

You sound like a really strong support for your girlfriend, who has obviously had such a very tough life, as well as her children. It’s good that she is beginning to access therapy from the NHS but I’m sorry that you are in such a difficult situation and have no one who can support you.

I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust that provides support for families and friends of people with addictive behaviours. We know that this is very difficult so we provide a service called ‘Family Friends’. These are a team of trained and experienced people that you could talk with if you make contact with us. They may help you to understand what is happening, to answer some of your questions, help and signpost you to what other help is available.

You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org

I hope that this helps and that you are able to get some support. Good luck.

Hi there, I’m sorry you feel alone chic I do too sometimes it’s hard being with an addict you feel it’s 2 steps forward three steps back all the time however I would like to offer you some hope That it can get better, i’m living proof of that. I have been with an alcoholic and it’s soul destroying but he hit rock bottom and got better after that, in fortunately we didn’t work out but that was not because of the drink, he now has a family of his own and a v good job and we are still friends- The cold hard truth says someone will only do it when their as low as they can get and have no other option. That’s the truth. I’ll keep in touch and stay strong. Louise
