Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Karla, Yes stress from an alcholic can and will contribute to fibro. You are always ready for a showdown when they beginning drinking not knowing what might happen and what will set him off. I suggest you can help and some support from alnon or some real close freinds or family member that you can lean on for help and understanding. It is very hard to live that way . I did for 24 years with my first husband who was an alcholoic plus he was in the military at the same time. I understand how you feel and that you still love and care for him.Love is hard to turn off sometimes. I wish you the best at home and with your health also.

You could try going to an alanon group to help you see how all of this is affecting you. There is a lot of strength in being with others who know what you are living with; just like with this group. Hope this helps, Vicki northern MN ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Alanon was a wonderful help for me. I learned so much and received so much real support and it was a great place to get hugs. I highly recommend it. The stress of not knowing how the alcoholic will react at any given moment keeps you tense and increases greatly any pain you are having; plus it messes with you mind anyway.
