Alcoholism is utter utter shite isnt it?

[meatntattypie]

shite on those around the person i mean.

Its like watching someone slowly slowly commit suicide, but first hurting everyone around them.

sigh, it is such a fucking waste and such a fucking shame.

Tis.
My step dad was an alcoholic.
I was thrilled that when I got a dad for the first time ever, then so let down as I realised what 'having a drink problem' meant.

His liver started to pack up and the doctor said that he could die at any time - didn't stop him drinking. I felt like I was grieving while he still alive.

His behaviour got worse, to be honest he was a complete cunt (and I don't bandy that word around) and made my childhood and teenage years a horrible, frightening place to be. He has never said sorry, denies it all and we Pretend It Didn't Happen.

On the plus side, I don't really drink and never have.

Is is your partner?

my mil is an alcholick and I have been on the receiving end of her bullying and abuse for years.

She even had the cheek to say I would be nicer to her if I was her own daughter. I nicely reminded her that I stayed with her for three weeks last year, heavily pregnant with three young children left on my own on a beach in a foreign country for three weeks. Then on a night watched her drink herself stupid and watch her eyes roll into the back her head. Then her attack dh..

Oh i could go on...Fucking awful, they are killing themselves but also everyone else around them

who is it that is an alcoholic? do they admit it?

My dp stopped drinking about 18 yrs ago and his life transformed There is always hope

I now know 3 alcoholics.
ALl close friends of my family or of me and dh.

They are not the people that they were, that i grew up with and that we have shared our lives with.

One of them i am just so heartbroken for as we had our babies together, we knew her and her dh before any of us were married, whenw e were starting out in the grown up world.

I just dont know what to say to her lovely dh who is left bringing up their 2 children and trying to make a half decent life for them. She is a raging acoholic nowadays.

Our friend who was a beutiful male model with the world at his feet, now also a raging alcoholic.
Its such a shame, so very sad and just very very unecissary.
sad sad sad.
