I also lost two family members this year. I wanted so badly to believe he really meant it when he said that he had not been drinking for a long time and had no desire to drink and wanted to be a family man, holding down a job and supporting us once again. He stayed away from everything (nearly to the point of total isolation at our house). He went under and comes home at 4am......I am seeing a cycle now. He gets desperate, tells me a hard luck story, I relent, he comes over, he stays for a few weeks, then things start to break down again, I ask him to leave...he blames me, he moves in with a relative out of state for a few months, moves back here since he misses the kids, he wants to see us, I forget what happened and get into the ring again with him......on and on. Stop the insanity? I want to learn more about alcoholism and how it has been affecting our lives. That is why I am here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. God is good all the time. We just don't always recognize it.
