Hi there
I've just joined... My partner is an alcoholic.
I gave him an ultimatum to quit and he moved ou tonight.
It has been a struggle for 4 years. He is in a bit of denial.
He is also very nasty when drunk, these when not drunk too.
Hoping to chat with some pp, who understand our situation.

Hi and welcome.

What Dee says and Al Anon meetings in your area are great support.
You will probably hear accurate things to hold onto your sanity, not saying you will like them.

BE WELL

Hello,
Welcome! I am an alcoholic and I think it's great that you are here, seeking support as a partner to someone from the same addiction. Read widely on this website and you will gather a lot of information :-)
