After reading I am leaving him/her fed up with this crap
Well funny enough so are we, unless you experience this addiction and I mean really experience it, no one could quite believe the power of it, I wonder if I said I am leaving my husband because his been diagnosed with a disease, what response I would get, this is a DISEASE, in sickness & in health omg makes me so mad when people think you can just stop, I know it's hard to live with an addict but don't think it's easy for us either because it's not
Unless he was abusive or something like that I wouldn't, I am just fed up of people thinking the addict has it easy, because it's not the case, I never asked for any of this & wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
oh ok I get it, you went to the Friends and Family forum. Right now, since you are in very early sobriety I'd advise you to stay away from it unless you have a loved one who is an active alcoholic/addict.
I belong to both sides: I am an alcoholic in recovery and I am also a member of Al Anon and have been affected by my loved ones alcoholism.
Some truths can be very unpleasant to hear and right now you are raw and vulnerable. Just stick to this side of the forum right now

It happens all the time and actually happens a lot when spouses get sober...I have a friend that's leaving his wife after years of her taking care of him and picking up the pieces after each of his binges! He's got three months sobriety and seems to think they now have nothing in common. I tried talking to him, but he seems to think it's what he needs to do to stay sober...sad thing is they have a kid together. I hate it and don't get it, but I'm not in that household so I don't really know the dynamics of the relationship and maybe them and others would be better off separating.
I just thank God that my wife has stuck with me and I her throughout the struggles with this horrific disease. I agree, more people need to see this as the disease it is!

I feel the same. Sickness and heallth. But God know that we alcoholics are not a pretty sight.
I am still hurt by the fact that he couldn't see me through this but then again I don't think I would have gotten sober if he stayed.
so confusing sometimes - my feelings about his leaving.
I'm glad to see posts from another wife who is an alcoholic.
glad to read ya see it,too!
good on ya for 10 days!
