This is first time Iv spoke about this my partner is on one of many benders it’s been over 2 month of a litre a day I’m scared he’s actually going to die through this

He always makes me feel bad for questioning why he does it he’s had alcoholic hepatitis few years ago but keep going back to it I try to ignore it and live my life as normal but it’s so hard

Hi Janet, welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing your story with us here.

All of us here are only too familiar with what you’re going through with your partner.

It’s a horrible illness to watch the person you love have an addiction that takes over their (and your) life.

Of course they will make you feel bad when you question their behaviour. They know it’s wrong so they turn the guilt to us.

You just want a normal life, alcohol/drug free.

I have to say though it really HAS to be their decision to seek support from AA groups.

No one can make them go unfortunately.

My 29yr son has alcohol and cocaine addictions, he’s thankfully one year clean thanks to these groups.

Please look after yourself in the meantime Janet confide in someone close if you can.

Read the other stories here -you will realise that you’re not alone.

Take care ❤️

Lx

Thank you for your kind words I do confide in someone I just wish he would go back to the way he was thanks again

Have faith Janet, he could still turn his life around yet!

That’s why I still post even though my son is in recovery, it’s good to have hope and you’ll get strength from reading other threads.

Everyone is so kind and understanding- they were here for me when I couldn’t talk to anyone else for fear of being judged.

During his sober moments let him know you love him, and you will be ready to support him when he seeks help. Keep yourself busy in the meantime or practice mindfulness.

Stay strong

Lx ❤️

Thanks L he seems to be stuck in it the now it’s been constant for as long as I can remember and always in denial myself and our daughters have both tried to talk to him but he buries head in the sand it’s such a waste of a life I’m now on antidepressants to try and cope as best I can he acts like he doesn’t care but I know he does x
