Hi Lady, thank you for sharing your story. After 7 years you would think you would know a person – right?

Do you have children- are you planning to? Do you think this is a healthy, nurturing environment to raise them?

I realise it must be difficult, as you must love this man when he’s sober. There are so many stories here from wives and girlfriends who are in similar situations.

I guess what I’m saying is Lady that only you can decide if this is the future you want together.

If you truly want to spend your life with him, I think he needs to commit himself to joining AA, get sober , and he needs to be the one to recognise that he has an addiction to alcohol and seek support to stop drinking.

I wish you well – whatever choice you make Lady.

Hi Ladyladylady,

Welcome to the Forum.

I can only reiterate Lindyloos words and you really need to think about the future.

What has he done to try and be sober? Has he been to meetings or gone on line to Zoom meetings?

You ask if 2 months is enough time to heal. I think the honest answer is that they will always be an addict but can be a recovering addict if they really want too, with lots of hard work and commitment.

Take care.
