Revelation

Ah coming to the realization thT he has no coping skills and is filled with pride. “I can’t face the world” he says. Me on the other hand is facing the world and the nightmare of him. He swears he will abide by the no drinking rules I gave. I said he has to abide by the no drinking rules HE has. He doesn’t get it. I’ll try again tomorrow to put one foot in front of the other. He’s a sad pathetic person.

He's alcoholic. Alcoholism is an illness, not a moral failing. It is cunning and baffling, for the alcoholic and all involved.

One day at a time. Take care of you.

I could not stop for anyone else. I tried to stop for my family and my girlfriend at the time. I went to rehab for them and failed. I went to rehab again 3 years later and it was because I wanted to go. I have been sober for over 6 months and I do not want to go back. They have to want to stop. In my opinion, you can't force them or scare them straight.

He has an illness.

You are doing the right thing by removing yourself from the damage it causes.

Curious if you have a recovery program of your own.

yes. For over 2 years now. I have decided alcoholic illness causes others to seek help. I cannot wait for him to go so I can be rid of all this sadness and really live again.
