Funny, people still think that to be called an Alcoholic you have to be a falling down Bowery drunk. Not True. I have also learned by my loved ones actions that not all are liars or have been unfaithful to their spouse. I continually ask myself what came first, the drinking or the lying / being unfaithful. I believe that even that first drink as a teenager screwed up my loved one's moral compass. It also doesn't help that my loved one is agnostic. What is sad is to see how this now senior citizen doesn't get it. He hasn't lost his family and his siblings since they never saw his bad days. He didn't cheat on them. But he has lost me, our home over five years ago. My heart still breaks. WHY ? I guess because I remember all the good stuff about this person. My Life Has Been An EMOTIONAL Roller Coaster living with this person. Even though we have been separated, he still comes back to me now and then promising no more lies, no more other women. HA. Maybe that is what he believes or wants to happen but his alcohol is stronger. I found your site just two days ago and have been devouring it. Yes, I was in Al Anon. Even went by myself to an AA meeting. Read tons of books, been on forums. They have helped. Why do I slip back and need this information again ? Because my loved one brings me back to that spot. Again, I continue with my struggle to let go and move on. Thank You Again Charlie for this site. It helps me to know why my loved one acts this way. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
