I am an ahole at times. Just view the politics as a nice diversion. I don't have any personal issues with anyone on here. I don't put people on ignore and the back and forth $hit talking is just fun. You can't take offense to what is said here because you never really know whether the views espoused are deeply held or just troll statements. My personal opinion is that the posters on here have a lot more common ground than they realize and the differences aren't insurmountable, but we've been conditioned to demonize based on nothing more than (R) or (D).

Thanks for the good wishes and right back at ya.

Alcoholism is hard. When I was married to her, I thought my will power would be enough to stop her from drinking. I emptied the house of booze. I didn't drink. I cut off her funding for alcohol. She'd drink the rubbing alcohol in the house. She drink hand sanitizer, the vanilla anything she thought would do the trick. I went through numerous home detoxes with her, she went to short term rehab (less than 30 days), long term rehab (some more than a year) and she would still come out and get messed up. The last few times she hasn't been drinking, but she started doing DXM (cough suppressant pills). It is definitely a sad spiral that nobody but the afflicted individual can stop.

When my daughter was 7 she had to call the police on her mom because she was going to drive. The cops baker acted her mom and took her away in a police car. I was incredibly proud of my daughter because just calling the police was a display of courage that I am not sure I could have followed through on. It was a shame she had to see so much so early, but she is a strong willed good hearted kid which is a curse and a blessing of its own.

But my point was, before I digressed into story time was that alcoholism is very real and impacts friends and family as much as it impacts the drunk.

While I admire your loyalty, you are after my own heart in that regard (I'm a very loyal person; to a fault), once you had to essentially childproof the house for her, it would have been over for me.

[Not Directed at you CV; just in general] I think too many people get caught up in the concept of love with marriage. However, it is as much, if not more so, a business decision. A mother, who herself has to have things childproofed, cannot in turn adequately raise a child.

Lol, right. I bet your wife muscles her way into the front of the chocolate fondue line at Golden Corral.

Do you hire tuba players to follow her around or are they just naturally drawn to her.

Why do you always bring your mother into the conversation? My wife is twenty plus years older than that nag you posted with a ****ing steak over her face and looks a thousand times better scarecrow.

This thread has been derailed and maybe there should be a thread on this topic because I'm almost certain everyone here has a family member or friend that has alcohol or drug problems, but I commend you for trying your best to help her.
I have a nephew that has had drug problems most of his adult life. He is in rehab in Delray Beach, FL again for the umpteenth time and his parents are at a dead end with him.

AirVol as I was reading this I was thinking that same thing. This addiction has most likely touched everyone in here in one way or another. CV and ODR have definitely shared some eye opening experiences. I hope everyone who has been affected by this addiction can find some peace.
