I'm pretty new to this chatting....posted one note not sure where that went. As I said in my last post - My AH husband (who happens to own a bar/casino) told me last night that he would rather drink himself to death than stay with me....guess I already knew that but it has put me into a very bad place today. Can't figure out what to do next...driving the ten miles to town to get gas on my car in case I need to "cut and run." How did I get myself into this mess. I spent 26 years married to a wonderful man - he passed 8 years ago and here I am ..... I think today is called "hitting bottom."

I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Yes, I think I'd fill my gas tank and start looking for places to live. Can't imagine staying with someone so heartless and cruel. You deserve better.

I would go online and search for your local Alanon meetings.
Try to go to a few different ones, then pick one that feels right for you.

Alanon is a worldwide support group for people who are affected by the alcoholic in their life

Well the good news is he told you what he wants for his life! I say that someone tongue in cheek, yet... not really. He's being honest with you... when he says he's going to keep drinking... believe him.

So what do you want for your life? If you don't want to live with the alcoholism, then make decisions and take steps to remove yourself from it.

As the others have said, Al-anon has been a great life saver for me. Give it a try!
