Alcoholic Boyfriend Posted: 05-20-07 20:49pm
Hi everyone. I just joined this site. As
you can see, I wanted to get some advice
from other people. My boyfriend is an
alcoholic. I can't talk to anyone because
all his friends drink too. I have been
with him for about a year now. He has been
to rehab before for drugs. He has a very
addictive personality. When I met him, he
drank but not every single day. Now,
everyday after work, he HAS to have a beer
he says. Every time I try to talk to him
about it, he just tells me that I am being
a health forum. I am always driving him
around because he is drinking. He just got
a car, and I am really scared he is going
to drink and drive. I have tried so hard
to just bite my tongue when he picks up a
bottle of whiskey, but I can't take it
anymore. It seems like he isnt happy until
he drinks. I know that he is an alcoholic.
And he admits that he is. But he says it
in a way that he thinks it is funny and
that he doesn't care. I don't think that
he sees that it is a disease. I want to
help him so much and I try every day, but
he just yells at me. He really is a good
person and he has done everything for me
and I just want him to stop. Is there any
way possible that I could help him? Thanks
for everyone who responds

The best way you can help HIM is by
helping YOURSELF. The best way to do that
is to dump him immediately. He needs to
sort himself out and to do that alone.
Plus, you dont need the stress and psychic
damage of dealing with his B.S. Best of
luck to you.

Brittany- As a former alcoholic I can tell
you, that if that person doesn't want to
get better, you're trying in vain.
You can commit him for thousand and
thousand of time in rehab...They won't do
him any good if he's not convinced that
he's doing something wrong that will,
finally, destroy him.
My advice is to try your best in showing
him that he’s' doomed unless he does
something- if he can't be persuaded, leave
him dear girl.
You deserve to have a normal life, you
deserve better things!
