This blog aims to help you cope with living with an alcohol abuser. I know what you are going through because I have lived through this situation myself. So I have set up the "HELP PAGES" on the right to help you cope with an alcohol affected life. Please start with the first page: "Living with an Alcohol Abuser".

LIVING WITH AN "ON Again" - "OFF Again" DRINKER

Does your partner, child or relative drink too much for too long, you know, drunk all the time, then sober up and stop for a while?

What most of us do when living through the horrors of this situation is REACH  OUT  FOR  HELP when the drinking is happening, but once the drinker gets sober, we think things are OK again and we STOP looking for help - everything is OK again!

I went through this situation many times and got nowhere - the drinker kept drinking and I got more frustrated and angry. I deluded myself that the drinking had stopped for good at each sober period - how wrong I was!
How much time I lost while living with this Roller Coaster. I was no closer to getting a decent life - maybe YOU are familiar with this situation.

Finally I realised I was getting nowhere and neither was my partner, the drinker, until I made a determined effort to get help and kept at it.

I finally found where to get help to survive this alcohol affected life, it took a while, but what I learned can help YOU too - I suggest you simply read through  my "HELP PAGES" on the right of my bloc, and see if you can relate to what happened.  I hope that what I learned may help YOU  TOO.

And  my other posts on this blog cover a range of related issues that we live through, so I hope you find some help there too.
