Seconded! Feeling sorry and glum just ain't worth it! I've been there, man. My eternal motto? "Tomorrow is another day!" Live it!
I married one. She's been sober for two weeks now and I'm scared as fuck she will relapse and drink herself to death.
You must really lover her fosterlager. Myself I could never commit myself to someone who had an alcohol/drug addiction. And having seen it personally I don't know how you find the strength to deal with it
It's her battle she has to fight alone. Her family and doctors are her support now and she has asked for a seperation to concentrate on herself.
Has there been an intervention? I've been watching that show on TV about interventions and I'm not quite sure if they work. In the end it's always up to the person themselves.
Ouch, I'm sorry I asked fosterlager I hope I didn't offend/dredge up something painful with my comment
O.K. I will spill it...I met a witch...a good witch...about 5 years ago. I worked with her, she was my supervisor....The first thing she said to me was that she was married...the first thing I asked her...coming from a divorced family, was....how is that working you for you? I do not know why I asked a married woman how her marriage was going, but they divorced shortly thereafter... I was in college at the time, we hung out at her house at night a lot...watched movies...drank...confess liking each other. but she had a boyfriend....with more money than I...AND THAT WAS IT! She moved away! Because of money! After that I took alot of pills and booze, but to no avail! I mentioned witch because their were ALOT of supernatural things going on at the time...but I know this board is kinda conservatine to that matter....
The couple I've been involved in led to help for the people. One did an in patient treatment deal and the other out patient. But neither lasted and both are pretty much back to where they started.
Yeah, that's what I figured most interventions would end up. They'd be convinced to go to rehab but then once they're out, temptation gets them again. I truly think the only way to quit doing something is having that revelation of whatever you're looking for. Like when I quit smoking in college. I smoked since 8th grade. Beijing has no age limits on that kind of stuff. I smoked mainly because of stress and nervousness. One day I woke up in college, felt literally like shit and said "I really don't want to feel like this anymore," and quit cold turkey. Never touched a cigarette since.
