How Alcoholism Destroyed My Ex Husband's Life

Oliveira wrote:What a very sad situation. At 12 steps programs we understand that the addict/alcoholic has to hit the rock bottom to seek help. Problem is, for some that rock bottom lies extremely deep. I consider myself very lucky that mine didn't. Your ex-husband is very unlucky. But his situation is one of his choosing.

Big hug to you and I am sorry this has happened to you and your family.

I've known in my heart for a while that rock bottom for him is probably going to be the morgue. People get angry with me when I say it, but not saying it doesn't change how I feel.
I mean if being homeless for years at a time, crippling his own hand, having his own mom file for a restraining order against him, his wife divorcing him, losing access to his only child, multiple county jail stays and hospital visits, ETC isn't rock bottom for him then I don't know what is.

Thanks for sharing your story with us, it really helped me out tonight. I am an alcoholic, 7 years clean, working a program. Sometimes we think we are only hurting ourselves when we are drinking, and hearing your side of the story is devastating. I pray for things to get easier and happier for you.
