I know what you mean. A friend of mine recently asked me, " So what

have you been up to? " The only things I have been up to are doctor

appointments and pharmacy visits. Then, I remembered all of the fun

things I used to do with this friend - bike rides, movies, wine

tasting, etc. Our lives have changed so much. Luckily she is a

friend that makes the effort to see Zach which I greatly appreciate,

but she can't relate to my lifestyle. They take vacations to the

beach and call us at least three times to tell us how great the

water, sun, sand are. It is hard not to be jealous. No one can

relate except all of you.

Rosemary,

Your sister may not have the answer but there are those who do.

Could you attend an a meeting for families of alcoholics? I know it

is not the Alcoholics Anonymous, but it is a similar group for

families. They know what you are going through and may give you the

tools you need to leave. As others have stated your husband must

heal himself and unfortunately that leaves you to heal yourself and

the kids. So unfair. An alcoholic cannot understand logic and

reason because they are in a vacuum of irrational behavior. I don't

know if you can ever get over the pain of a loved one choosing

alcohol instead of holding on to the love they were given, but I

hope the answers appear for you soon.

Rosemary,

That group is called ALANON and they are great. I have gone to a few meetings

with my M-I-L because my bro-in-law was living with her and she needed some

support. They also have ALATEEN for kids of alcoholics but I am not sure if

that group is for kids as young as yours. I hope that you are able to find the

support you need. Remember we are all here for you too!

Rosemary Alanon attempts to teach YOU not to be a

" co-alcoholic " by which they mean an " enabler. You could

try it, but I wouldn't be sending any baloons up over it!

Love,

n, giving un-asked-for suggestion to favourite neice!

I have looked up meetings - get this - they are mostly (95%) at night at

8:00! How pray tell can a spouse leave their children with their drunken

husband?

Hopefully I will locate a day one.........

Rosemary,

My mother took us with her to the meetings (30 years ago). It would

be hard for you to fit in three treatments and go to an 8pm meeting.

If I were closer, I'd babyset for you.

Dear Rosemary .

I feel so badly that I or some of us aren't nearer to you to spell you

or at least BE THERE for you. We are all here on the list for you , you

know that, but I really do wish you have some hands on folks there to

help as well. Will his mom or any of your help out at all. It would be

so nice for you to see other folks for a break.

If there is ANY way I might help -PLEASE call me.

LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEv

You are right. Daytime meetings make so much more sense. Good luck!
