Re: [Recovery-World-Al-Anon] Re: Had him arrested

Thank you so much for writing... I am so sorry to hear of your divorce.
Has your husband had counseling? Have you?
I think I am going to get some for myself, because I seem to attract addicts. My last one was a porn addict. That was a hoot...
I think alcoholism is more devastating though, because like you say, they are great when they're sober.
I have a lot of faith, but I don't know about having too much with my husband Mike. He lost his parents to cancer at 16, and has been battling drinking ever since. Actually, he drank , hard, even before they died, but he tells me that by them dying, he could get a lot of mileage out of it. He is usually a very honest drunk, but lately he's been very sneaky, which tells me it's progressing.
I feel so bad for you, because there are children involved. Mine are grown and he has none(which is a blessing, in a sad way)
Do you think your ex will ever get sober? If so, do you think you would give him another chance?
I am the queen of last chances. I even wrote a song about it...
I have a feeling this is it though. I spent the day cleaning, organizing, so I can leave quickly if I have to.
He has a great job, and wonderful insurance, and quite frankly, I need him to keep this job, and not go to jail. I have had serious health problems for the last few years, and I really need his help, at least for now. I am in my senior year of college,(at 46), getting a degree in Behavioral Science. I have taken drug and alcohol courses, and was a domestic abuse victim 29 years ago.So, I know this stuff... I guess knowing it, and KNOWING it, can be two different things... I need to find out what is going on with , me...
Thanks again, and if YOU ever need to talk, just write me...
Take Care, Carolyn

I am so sorry to hear this....My father was this type of drinker, and I
lived in much fear as a child...seeing my mother go through this was
difficult as well...will pray for you, and want you to know you have
done the right thing getting help. If you ever need someone to talk to
I am here.
I am currently divorced. Has only been a month since it was final, and
I only see my ex when he is sober. This makes it hard as he too is a
wonderful man sober. We have 3 children b-20, g-15, and b-4. It would
be so much easier if I hated him... and didn't care, but...
take care...

My husband believes he can do this on his own, and frequently states he does not need counseling. I have been in counseling for over 10 years. I started out...
