there is a massive difference between living in shared accommodation with someone and being in a relationship with someone. Also its very difficult to help an alcoholic if they are not ready/not interested in quitting. Its naive to think that you can make a difference. The best thing you can do is walk away before to much emotional damage has been done. Who knows, that might shock them into sorting their drinking habits out. But its foolish to stick around and let them drag you down with them just because you “care for this person”.

Donna, Please dont do this to yourself. I know its hard to walk away from someone that you love, you always hold in the back of your mind that they will change and that hope keeps you hanging on. I fell in love with an alcoholic, and i have never been in a more destructive relationship in my life. I left him at the end of last year, and looking back i cant believe some of the things I put up with. You deserve better. Just cut your losses and dont look back. x

For goodness sake,get him out of your life.
I dated an alcoholic for a year,dumping him as he loved the booze more than me.
As a nurse you are likely to be kind and sympathetic,but please don’t be a mug.

loving relationships are mutually supportive…you will find one when you are released from this.

all the best

Hi Guys. I strongly, strongly suggest you read Allen Carr’s Easyway to Control Drinking. I read it back in 2007 and it will help you to understand exactly what alcohol is and is not. What we all need to understand is, regardless of how much alcohol you are currently taking, 90% of the western world drink alcohol. If 90% of the world smoked cigarettes, either one pack a year, or one pack a day, we would know there is serious problem. Its not surprising we all want to drink. From birth we are taught it relieves stress and boredom, is essential as a social prop and removes our inhibitions. But as you know from your drinking the following day, removing your inhibitions has caused you terrible embarrassment, horrible guilt and even caused you extreme danger. Alcohol is a colourless, foul tasting poison formed as a result of putrifying vegetable matter. If you had a tiny dose of pure alcohol it would kill you very quickly. However, we drink it in a highly dilluted form and society has brainwashed us into believing it gives us certain advantages which outweigh the disadvantages. Look up Allen Carr’s easyway and get the book.
