We long for the drinking to stop. We long for the peace of a happy home. We long to get our partner back again - the one we knew, not the person affected by alcohol.
We may begin to realise the extent of the battle ahead for the drinker - how difficult it's going to be to simply (we think simply) stop drinking. But it won't be simple for him/her to stop. It may take many failures before they finally, hopefully, find a reason and a way to stop drinking.
And that is after they start to realise how the drinking is destroying their life and those lives around them.
It's going to be a long haul.
All you can do is to start looking after YOU - start thinking about getting some help as I did.
If you start to work on YOU, then things have got a chance of changing. For the Better. That is the usual experience of thousands of people living with alcoholism.
If you do NOTHING, then we can say that nothing will change.
So really, IT"S UP TO YOU - the drinker can do nothing to help at this stage. They are being dominated by a chemical - alcohol.
Only YOU can change something ...... think about it. Read the HELP PAGES over on the right.
