I'm new at this kind of thing...
I don't drink and have no addictions....but my dear girlfriend is an alcoholic by her own admission. She joined this site last week while I was away visiting family. She is now in day 7 of recovery which I am very grateful for and proud of her for.
Seeing her like she is now is a great deal different than seeing her "loaded" which was/is very difficult for me to deal with. It was/is very frustrating to see this wonderful person try and destroy herself with her reckless drinking.
I've tried to remain positive and patient with her and have encouraged her to seek help for over 3 years now. While I can't tell her what to do, I can only hope that my influence on her is a good one and she hopefully completely stops the torture of drinking which is clearly impacting my relationship with her on several levels
Any suggestions anyone might have would be appreciated...Thank you!
