Alcoholism hurts more than yourself

Has anyone else had this happen to their spouse/loved one? They changed so much over night. I wrote this from my sons point of view.


I'm talking to you GOD like I heard momma do.
I'm wondering if maybe you could help me too.
You see GOD, my daddy started getting mad all the time and nothing we did was
right.
Momma said it's not our fault, that the disease, clouded his sight.
Momma said daddy didn't love her anymore and that he went away,
God, I know the disease made him unhappy and made him not want to stay.
He changed so much GOD, I wish that he could see,
The disease changed him into someone he never used to be.
Momma said the disease took over his mind, I know that she is right.
He went from being happy, to always wanting to fight.
So GOD,can you please tell my daddy what the disease has done to him, and can you make him see?
I want my daddy back to the way he used to be.
Momma misses daddy too, I hear her cry sometimes at night.
She says as long as daddy has the disease, she can't win the fight.
So can you help me GOD and take the disease out of daddy's head?
Can you take the disease so he can feel happiness instead.
I don't want us to be lonely anymore and I miss being a family.
So GOD could you please take daddy's disease so he can be the daddy he used to be?


Alcoholism hurts more than just yourself.

I heard at an AA meeting once that alcoholism is the only disease that kills OTHER people. (via DUIs).

Not only is he alcoholic, he is addicted to cocaine (again).
He got off the coke, but remained an alcoholic. But went back to the drugs & became worse of an alcoholic! Very sad... He has no interest in his kids anymore, his wife(me), his family, nothing..... sad.

Hurts everyone and everything. BF in rehab and I am now realizing what a mess it made the relationship. Now I am free and its time for me. Also it is not healthy for him to be in a relationship while in recovery.

I also feel he will go back to drinking one day. It was rehab or his job thats why he is there.
