Hello and welcome to SR!
I hope you find the support and friendship you need here,
and I hope you find some answers as well
most important - I hope you no longer feel alone.
I couldn't tell from your post if you were seeking
f2f support in your area, but man, this is the time to seek it.
Yes,the police (or whomever it is we unconsciously hold as'authority' in adult life)
will defend the alcoholic's right to destroy everyone around them
by drinking themselves to death.
They really will stand idly by and let it happen.
IT's great that you're asking for help
but asking the police... is just not asking the right people.
I hope you're already involved with an Alanon group in your area
and if not, I hope you'll find one
and try it out.
First - for the fellowship.
Second - for the resources that you probably have right in your neighborhood
but simply don't know about.
There was a man who was a long time customer
of the bar where I worked.
He was in the final stages of alcoholism
even had his retirement check sent to the bar
and he slept in his car in the back parking lot.
Several of the customers tried
to find someone ANYone to help
but no one could.
He was an adult who had every right to do what he was doing.
He died when I was around 90 days sober.
I hope you'll read up on everything here,
and post post post to your heart's content ...
almosty any time of day or night - someone is here.
