The deal with "suicidal alcoholics"
Often they will claim they are suicidal to manipulate people. Sometimes they actually are suicidal. Best thing to do is get professional help. If they are brought to the ER, and realize there will be no booze while admitted to a hospital bed they amazingly change their story. They can also use the suicidal "scam" to try to get a bed, a meal, and a shower for the night at the numerous hospitals they believe are special(free) hotels for them. When they get the urge to drink they can revise the suicidal thoughts and miraculously recover and get discharged.
I told my aw that if she chooses sobriety, my world will stop to help her. My world will however not be part of her insanity in any other capacity.
