This was my experience as well....I tried, My God I tried....the longer I stayed, the crazier I got until I was of no use to anyone.
I have an inability to remain sane in an insane situation, and make no mistake, active alcoholism IS insanity, the dangerous thing about it is it's contagious, that's why they call it a "family disease", everyone involved is affected (goes crazy a little bit)
Some people have the ability or fortitude or whatever to stay, I'm not one of them, some people stay and go insane themselves, we see them show up at meetings barking mad with an utter inability to talk about anything but him/her.
They are so sick, I just want to hug them, I remember that's exactly what I looked and sounded like when I got there. It's horrible.
