If there is one thing I wished is that an alcoholic could read these stories and see the heartache that their loved ones go through.
I lost my husband to alcohol, and it has forever changed my life, and that of our 5 year old daughter.

I am so very sorry for your loss.
If it were only that easy, get them to see the hurt they bring to their loved ones, but that logic is only clear to the person NOT afflicted by alcoholism or addiction. If it were as easy as them seeing the hurt and just stop drinking/drugs, we wouldn’t need treatment facilities, therapists, addiction specialists, 12 step programs and on and on.
This disease, at best, is only ever put into remission never completely eradicated or cured.

Alcohol can destroy lives & families but so can poor, selfish and negligent personal choices of the drinker/abuser.
Oh how I wish it was just the chemical but there are probably other things going on that alcohol only enhances, enables or exacerbates.
Took a while but sometimes focusing on the why's and how's is more important than the what.
Peace
