Facing up to the reality that our loved one has lost control of their drinking and is becoming more and more controlled by the need to drink is one of the hardest things we have to do.
I didn't want to know about it for a while, and blamed the excessive drinking on "depression". I found it very hard to even think that my loved one was in trouble with alcohol.
Until some kind friends told me that she had a drinking problem. Then I had to face it for the first time. Even so it took quite a while before I sought help.
Then I tried everything to stop her drinking: seeking the reason for her drinking, trying to rationalise her reasons, hiding booze, pouring it down the sink, getting angry, feeling sad, lost and totally bewildered.
I had to seek the right help to understand what was going on - my General Practioner or Doctor simply said: "If she cannot stop, get out of the relationship!"
I could not do that, so I sought help elsewhere; to find out how I got help have a look through the Help Pages on the right.
I hope you find some useful information from my blog: its written just for YOU!
