Thank you so much. As I’m new to this I see I’ve replied to myself! Yes you are right. There is no persuasion in the world to help someone who doesn’t want to be helped and rejects you and your love. Hugs to you too. Stay strong. XXX

Ty B8988, it is a comfort to learn others are enduring the same heartache & trying too to remain strong. I have heard so many well meaning friends tell me I can’t help my son if he doesn’t want to change his life. I can’t let myself think there’s no way back for him. As you can tell I’m still wide awake worrying as usual & constantly thinking the worst is going to happen. My little grandson has literally saved my life. His smile lifts my heart. My husband is an alcoholic and I’m in a job I hate but I try & keep myself as sane as I can & keep busy. I think one of the best things I’ve done is sign up to Adfam & now knowing I am not alone with this pain. Hugs to you too. Stay strong xxx

I just pray the fright has done enough to make him want to stop but he should see a doctor too.

My heart goes out to you. I am a recovering alcoholic. Today I didn’t drink and I’m ok. I darent dwell too much on my past. I lost my kids for 4 years, lost jobs, money and self respect. My husband is a very heavy drinker and it breaks my heart watching him but you have to take care of you. Write your partner a letter explaining how his drinking makes you feel. You could ask him to seek help. Don’t enable him or buy him drink. He needs to READ how his choices are affecting you and his siblings but he won’t stop until he realises what he stands to lose. You must keep well yourself, find a hobby, go out with friends. Tell him you are there for him and you all love him but hate what the drink is doing to him. I wish you all the best.
