Re: I am confused

Thanks all for your responses. I agree with you all..lol

I do look at it as physically I have an Allergy and mentally I have a Disease. If that makes any sense to anyone other than me....LOL

I know its not really a matter of whether he believes its a disease as much as I felt hurt and that he was belittling me. Like, just stop after one drink and you won't be an alcoholic anymore, that I don't have the intellegence or the will power to do that. As Jeff stated...like its a character defect of some sort.

I know thats not the case and I know what I feel and know in my heart is what counts. He just seems to blame me and claim I am selfish when I tell him I have to come first. I know he does not understand and that he does not have to. I guess it just hurts as I thought he would want to learn more because he cared about me.

But I know I have lived a looooong time pushing things aside and under the rug hoping that they would go away. I guess us Alcoholics are not the only ones who have dibs on that...LOL

thanks
