Hi everyone, thanks for including me in your group. These messages are very serendipitous. I have an ex-boyfriend who is an alcoholic. We have not been together for 9 months and have spoken for the past three months. He called in the middle of the night a few days ago, drunk, wanting to have contact with me again. I told him to call me when he was sober. It's been a few days and my anxiety is better. It's hard to feel love and anxiety for him and myself at the same time. Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks so much for this group. I to am living with an Alcoholic and to say the least its exhausting. I am engaged and not sure about marriage and recently discovered I am expecting. I am a successful career women own my own home my own car etc and have managed to have some part of my life that has been so difficult to deal with.
Between the everyday struggles that we all encounter whether it be medical with family or yourself or just being stressed its difficult to want to come home to relax and be around your Alcoholic.
Alcohol is a disease so how do we determine when to stop helping our loved ones when they cant help their disease??

Hi
I have just joined this group and thought i would say hello to everyone. I am married to an alcoholic and have recently joined my local Al Anon. Unfortunately my husband has started drinking again and I have asked him to leave the marital home. However i am finding it difficul to cope with the guilt I feel as i realise he is in great pain. However i know I must take care of me.
I hope to share and support everyone in the group and to be a valued member
Grace
