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".

LOVED ONE DRUNK ? WHAT DO I DO??

It took me quite a while before I accepted that my wife's drinking was out of control.  I tried everything to stop her drinking bouts but nothing worked.

Looking back now, I realise that I persevered too long before reaching out for help.

All that happened was that my wife's drinking got worse and I slowly became a nervous, angry, isolated partner.  I wish I had sought help earlier, I would not have become so screwed up.

When to seek help?

  • When you find yourself frustrated, angry or resentful MOST of the time - danger signals for your health.
  • When you find yourself isolating from family or friends, or refusing social contacts.
  • When you can think of nothing else but his or her drinking.

If any of the above sounds familiar - have a look at the HELP PAGES over on the right hand side, and follow how I found my way back to sanity.

Best wishes for your recovery!
