Sorry you're in that spot. I have nothing to offer in the way of suggestions, but hope it works out well for you.

Can you go to meetings in person? My daughter's husband is an alcoholic and I went for 2 years. I met the most wonderful people there and got a lot out of it.

I'm not saying internet meetings aren't just as good. I never did one. I don't think they had them at that time. Either way, it's just a great step to take and I really want to validate you for it.

Thank you Debbie, you would have thought I would have learned from my first marriage (he was an abusive alcoholic too) but, I love eric so much and want him to get help. I will hang in there as long as I can. I am 50 yrs "young" and still have alot of years ahead of me...I want them to be good ones...and with eric but, if the good Lord wants something different for me then he will let me know.

I was actually looking for a forum...kind of like this one. As I had said..this isn't the first time I am going through this..(guess I didn't learn anything from the first time). I am hoping and praying after talking to him over the weekend I got through to him...we'll see


Thank you Judy!

Thank you so much for the site Angie and taking the time to search for it...I did sign up on that site but, I couldn't post...I don't know why....I am going to keep searching..


I have put this in GOD'S hands. I know he will help me through this. I just hope it's soon.


Thank you

Thank you
Dear Brenda,

If you already put this in God's hands, you're already doing the 12 steps. I think that might be the 1st or 2nd step of the 12.

Don't worry about not posting on the forum. It's a huge commitment - take your time. I didn't talk till around the 5th meeting.
