For my ex husband.......I had such hi hopes that court appointed AA would somehow get into his head. Instead, he spent his time there sharing about OUR DRINKING DAYS TOGETHER and all the fun we had (what he didn't mention was how MOST of those days turned into knock down drag out fights) - I had to stop going to the same meetings.... His hip replacement went well and he's up for the other hip April 17..... He's broke, his house is literally falling down around him, and he called me yesterday drunker than Cooter Brown boo hooing about his g/f who has apparently dumped him. He wanted to know "what do I do wrong that no one will love me?!" He wanted to know why I left him! The truth of that matter is, at the time, I was trying out a geographical cure. I thought if I got away from him I wouldn't drink so much. Hindsight is 20/20. He and I have talked about this before....can't reason with a drunk, I know all too well.....So, I thought if more prayers were added for him the lightbulb might eventually go off.......thanks all, for letting me share this.......Have a great sober weekend.

Hi Doll, of course you have my prayers. God it's tough to see someone you still care for, or have loved, doing this to themselves. My youngest son's Father died from alcoholism when my son was in third grade. How hard it was, watching that train wreck waiting to happen and be able to do little to stop it. And he had had nine years . Watching a loved son in law going thru it now, also. All you can do is let go and pray. Be good to yourself thru this, and hope he "hears" the message..Chris
