Newbie Alert.
Hi whomever may read this,
I am here because I have an alcoholic partner and I guess after 5 years I cannot take anymore so I am here to find some support for myself. Many of you will be aware of the hell that comes with alcoholics, the many times I have detoxed him or he has attended AA not to mention his spell in rehab which hasn't gone too successfully. I really don't think he has hit his rock bottom yet and I am now starting to believe that while I continue to forgive him and support him he never will. It has and continues to have a detrimental effect on my mental health and as I write this I know what I have to do but it is so hard when you love someone. That said he will end up dead soon, having come pretty close when he was admitted to rehab, if he doesn't beat his demons. Due to my own childhood issues of losing people, having an alcoholic father and a history of dating alcoholic men I realise now that only I can help myself, I cannot save him that surely needs to come from him? Anyway, I didn't mean to ramble on like this but 5 years of silence and here I am. I would appreciate any advice you can give me, although I may well be in the wrong forum, I'm not sure. Eitherway thanks for listening.
