I hear what you all are saying. I know that I am not helping myself or him by enabling his behavior.
I am going to try to be responsible for my own behavior and my own happiness. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? I don't know why it is so hard for me putting ME first.
While I am working on myself, I still want to help him. I really feel like he is capable of understanding why he abuses alcohol.
What I can do to help him help himself, without trying to force something he isn't ready for and without falling back into the same destructive pattern?
