Hi everyone looking for Some support with alcoholism, one of our family members drinks spirits pretty much every day ( if not they have a absolute bender then start again shortly after) and it is ruining there's and everyone's around them lives. I'm not really sure what I am looking for but are feeling very run down and depressed about the whole situation. Is it ever going to get better? We have gone over getting help so many time and it always falls on deafs ears and we mentally can't take anymore of this persons outbursts/behaviour or the way they treat people.

I Would love to hear your story's and support would be most appreciated in this rubbish time we are all living. Sorry if I have worded this awfully I have no strength to continue.

Hi . A dependant drinker will only stop if they want to . I’m so very sorry and I know how difficult it is but if they don’t want to stop their is NOTHING you can do .
You and other family members can get support through Al anon . A quick google will get you the contact details

This is so hard - we are going through similar, fumbling from one crisis to the next. Trying to remain calm, trying to keep the damage caused to a minimum...it feels like there is no way out.

Hi there I have been living this nightmare for years now my partner who drinks alcohol every night wants me to move out. My partner needs it and it's normally a bottle of wine maybe more. Tried rehab and tablets but nothing worked. Very hard and I'm on anti depressants too due to the issues
