hi

thanks for sharing your story , its a similar story to ours with my sibling , as a family we have tried all ways tough love , being supportive etc etc but we have had to walk away . Every time they fall and like you have to be returned by the Police or we are called they have gone to a hospital , or been found asleep on a park bench it draws you back in , helping advising , the guilt when you stop is painful , i keep telling myself its not me or my other sibling that is drinking , but its so hard when you just want the person you no and love back . Stay strong x

Thanks for your reply, I thought I could see it through and support him, but time after time, apology after apology it takes its toll on everyone, it’s so bloody hard knowing I can’t change or stop it for him. I don’t want the relationship to end, I am hoping the time apart will get him focused and see what he has at home. Trying to be positive, I suppose I want someone to tell it’s all gonna work out, but I know itll be along emotional journey with an unclear outlook. Which is sad.
