I know all about boundaries, I just can't seem to enforce them.

Hello:

Alcohol is a progressive disease, and it ruins not only the alcoholic, but the loved ones and family members around the alcoholic. It sounds like you know what you need to do. Setting boundaries is a very hard thing for a co-dependent person to do. You need a lot of help and support for that - in Alanon, you will find the undestanding, help and support you need to get better.

You know you can't fix the alcoholic, but you can do a lot to makie yourself better, whether he drinks or not.

Love and blessings to you and our husband

Robin
