Maybe you've tried everything to stop your loved one drinking, and maybe its only got worse. The only thing the drinker seems to be interested in is - "When do I have the next drink!" You are probably starting to feel lonely - your lovely partner or child is no longer the same - when they drink they become someone else; someone you really do not like. Perhaps you feel shame, or guilt (maybe it is my fault?) or anger.
But how bad does it have to get before you seek help?
If you can relate to any of the situations in the second paragraph, and you have tried everything you can think of to stop the drinking, you are probably there - you should seek help.
One of the things we first learn is: We didn't CAUSE it, we can't CONTROL it, and we can't CURE it.
Like me, we all come to realise that we cannot cope on our own - our life has become a shambles as we try to cope with the awful effects from someone's drinking.
You're there - decide today to do something to get help. You can read what I did in the 'Help' Pages over on the right hand side.
Believe me, what you are suffering, many of us have suffered too - but there IS help available. I am sure that just by reading the 'Help' Pages you will start to feel that there is hope for a better life for YOU.
You are not alone.
