for the same reason you.............
I'm always covering for him. Making excuses.
Denial.........it keeps the dance of alcoholism/enabling going........reality is at times so harsh, frightening and scary.
You don’t
Cause him to drink, you
Can’t control his drinking and you
Can’t cure him………..al-anon will help you focus on you and help you come to accept the things you cannot change and help you find the courage to change the things you can........which is YOU.
