Kraze3, I can relate to your frustration, and I know how it feels to hear an A say they realize they have a problem. You get filled with this great sense of relief & hope, but unfortunately it does not last for long (24 hours?).

I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when he came home with more alcohol! This disease is so awful.

I've been in this vicious cycle for well over 14 yrs. now, and I have learned not to have hope, but to let his actions speak. And his actions always say they want more alcohol. The A's/disease is so darn stubborn!

I am attending Alanon mtgs., as well as seeing a counselor, and have found them both very helpful. Also been reading One Day at a Time in Alanon, which you may find helpful.

Keep us posted and please take care of yourself,

Shivaya
