the best move any woman i was ever in a relationship with did while i was drinking was to throw me out of ther lives. i dont blame them one bit. they could have stayed with me and stayed with the gloom,dispair, and misery, but who in their right mind would do that?
i have cancer and am a recovering alcoholic. there are extremely different.there is no comparing the 2. no doctor can carve out the alcoholism in my body. no chemo will kill the alcoholism i have. radiation doesnt touch it. cyber knife,transplants,biological therapies,gene therapy,photodynamic therapy; nope. PET scans, CT scans, MRI's: alcoholism doesnt show up on them. i have had plenty of them all over the last 6 years and have yet to be told," the radiologist report of your last PET scan shows that your alcoholism is coming back."

I don't think you can compare alcoholism to cancer BM. It's just not the same thing.

Alcoholism or addiction is a condition we, the afflicted, CAN do something about.

For me, I'm glad I was kicked out of places....it took a while but that was major stepping stone for me realising I had to get myself out of the hole I was in and start standing on my own 2 feet.

If I'd had someone to always bail me out, I might be dead now...and that's not being melodramatic.
