When worded that way, I'm unclear on whether you mean one who drinks to excess, or one who is close to someone who does, but I won't ask you to explain.

It's hard to reply to this from the perspective of a non-drinker, because I was the drinker. I've made no secret of that in the forum. My wife wanted nothing to do with alcohol. I owe her much credit for her patience with me in the years before I gave it up.

There was a time she atetnded Al-Anon Family group, for wives or families of alcoholics. She did not say if it helped her or not, but if you know anyone who is going through the "absenteeism" (or worse) of living with someone who is drinking heavily, that is one group they might want to visit. They say, "We meet regularly in small groups to absorb the strength and hope of others who have lived with alcoholism."

Some churches also have support groups. Mine does. A person does not have to be a member of my church or profess Christianity to attend the programs they offer, and they do not charge anything for attending.

Hi there MackTexas. Yes the wording is a bit off. My apologies.
Yours is a good post and thank you for sharing that ;)

I still harbor resentment at some of the things a former resident did when she was drunk. Just today I was collecting the few autographed books I have and realized another is missing from the time she bundled up dozens and managed to lose them.

I know drunks tossed by their significant other that lost family stuff they inherited not even trying to retrieve their stuff. Addicts lie and steal drunks lie and might as well steal because they seem to cause as much damage for themselves and others..

And less than a year after a prolonged stay for alcohol related issue they are drinking like a fish again.
