"Doesn't it sometimes seem like As get all the breaks? Like never getting picked up for DUI? Getting out of trouble? Escaping from consequences? Bringing misery in others' lives for decades and never having to account for their actions? Pulling the wool over peoples' eyes?"

Isn't it enough that they're alcoholics and they wallow in misery every waking moment of their day? Isn't that punishment enough for them? Nobody wants to be addicted to drugs or booze. Alcoholics suffer from the consequences of their drinking on a daily basis.

You can escape from the consequences of your boyfriend's drinking by stopping all contact with him. You can let go of your anger by attending Alanon meetings, reading books about alcoholism, or attending therapy. Your boyfriend doesn't have to be an out-of-control alcoholic and you don't have to be an angry co-dependent partner.

We all have choices. There is a better way to live.
