Hey Cheryl,

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I used to feel isolated but that was my
own choice, i isolated myself. Now I'm using my Alanon program and life is
better. my husband has been sober now for 8 months. I will be dealing the
aftermath of my husband's addiction for years and years. One day at a Time.
Take care

Hey Lori,

Thanks for your note! My husband has been in rehab for about 3 weeks and I am
feeling better. I went to an AA meeting with him...that helped alot. I am going
to an Alanon tonight.

I have adopted some of the 12 steps in dealing with aftermath (bills etc). One
day at a time and let things go I have no control over. Geez I think I am a
kool-aid drinker now....LOL

So how is it going for you? Do you ever feel isolated?

Hope to talk to you soon

Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,

It's very frustrating when we are the ones left to pay the bills and pick up all
the pieces. If we don't then our lives are affected not just the
addicts/alcoholics. My husband was addicted to crack in our 5th year of
marriage. Hang in there, tomorrow is another day.

Background:: I have ben with my husband for over 5 yrs. For the past
year his drinking increased to the point he had to go rehab or lose his
job.

So he is at rehab and I am here to pick up the mess. I am so
aggravated..what break do I get?

Trust me when I say I feel awful having these feelings. I have Ms,
which according to him, is the same as his disease. GGTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Cool... where is my 12 step program to make me function better.

I am going to join a locale group...but I just wanted to know do others
feel this way
