I have been with my partner for alot of years and things hit rock bottom a few months ago. He has started his recovery but unfortunately a long wait.i know sounds selfish but I have been looking for support for myself as he seems to be able to get the support but I can’t. I am keep together the family as well as working and doing all normal life things as well as trying to support him although this is hard as I’m not sure what to do to help. He is very down angry and aggiatated and I just feel like I am hitting rock bottom. I am trying to stay strong and keep everything together for everyone but have no support myself. I have family and friends but because they havnt been through it they don’t really know what I’m going through. I feel very alone.

I know how you feel my partner has sought help after 4 years and I’m trying to be supportive as I know it’s a long journey. Problem is I am a bit resentful about the stress he has put me through. Friends have been good but they don’t really understand. The only advise I can give is try to do things for yourself, and take a break from it all. You are not alone.

Unfortunately I don’t get time I have young children , I work and have all house daily tasks as he is unable.i don’t know how to support him either I thought I was being supportive by letting him do his own thing and keep everything together so he doesn’t have any thing to do . But that doesn’t seem good enough. I found out today that one of family member have been buying him drink. I am so angry with them and can’t even face seeing them as feel I will blow my top with them. I know it’s his choice to drink it but why why would anyone buy it for them!!! I just don’t know what to do. I can’t see a way forward at the mo
