Ssssssoooooooooo........
Ssssssoooooooooo........
Talked with S.O.........said he's been drinking so he doesn't use Heroin.
Hates A.A..........not going for meds.........even though he's having trouble getting out of bed because he is so depressed. Crying alot on the phone.
But says he's not going to get help...doesn't believe in A.A counselling or medication. Says he's not worth it and doesn't feel worthy of a life.

Patty,
I don't think there is much I can do except let go and let god. Let him fall.
But is you can think of something let me know.
Live,
I feel like crap about it.
My first client this morning at work is a girl 36 years old who was born prematurely and didn't get enough oxygen to her brain. She is a person who can't do anything about her life is permanently crippled for as long as she lives. But these active alcoholics and addicts do have tools but won't use them. Too busy on their pity pots. That's what I told him among a few other choice things. I told him I work with people who have REAL problems here and REALLY can't do anything about them.

That's exactly what I was thinking Ngaire.
I'm oscillating between total acceptance back to total anger, to total sadness.
And that's a rough frame of mind to be in while I'm out caregiving as my job. My client before lunch her husband is an alcoholic and he leaves while I'm there with her to go and get beer. I felt like slapping him.

Yes it is ((Ngaire)) and unfortunately, there's nothing that you nor I can do about it. Take care of you sweetie.
The meeting was so good tonight.the topic was "how we've stayed sober"
Listening to other alcoholics talk about the disease it was so enlightening in a lot of ways. A lot of good stuff was shared.

I feel for your S/O too being a recoving addict/alcoholic I have been in that place of not feeling worthy of living. Keeping you and him on my prayer list.
