Hello Smiley, Welcome and I'm glad you found us! |
Hi and Welcone to SR! :c031: |
Hi Kathleen, and welcome to SR... Here's a link to the Friends & Families Forum. Please come over and say hi. There's lots of support to be had... |
Hiya Kathleen! Welcome! |
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic. By the Grace of my HP and people like you here in SR i havent had a drink of Alcohol since 8-11-90. For that Im truely grateful. Welcome Kathleen to SR.. Im 47ish with 2 college kids a 24 yr marriage and sobriety of 16 yrs. I hear this often in recovery that when one in the family is sick, like me in this case, the entire family is affected. That is why they have other recovery programs available for family members. Al-anon...Al-a-teen....and various others. Learn what u can in order to take care of ur- self. There are many warm and caring folks in here ready to lend a helping hand or ear or shoulder to guide u as u begin ur own journey in recovery. Thanks for letting me share. |
I am glad that you gave me the link to The friends and family forum. I went there and posted. You see I am married to a severe alcoholic that does not think that he has a problem. He claims that he is a social drinker lol. At the present he is madder then crap at me, because I will not go with him to see our daughter and I go by myself. He says that he wants to go visit her, and I tell him to go then and visit her. He don't want to go by himself, because then he will not be able to drink, due to not having a ride home. The last time we went together he got drunk and acted out terribly. Shoot he did not remember any of it the next day. He was yelling like an idiot. I decided that I am not going to subject myself to that again. Am I wrong? :question: |
Smiley, I never think that it's wrong to set a healthy boundary that helps keep me safe and sane. If someone else reacts negatively to my boundary-setting and my motives were pure, their reactions are not my fault nor my business. Alcoholism is a disease that does not like boundaries... |
