Just coming off a short period of sobriety with my A...he's back to drinking.


soooooooo tired...


...can't stand to hear one more time..."I'll get better"...empty words


Opened the credit card bill today...he spent over $1000 on booze and cigarettes last month


I went for a job interview today.  if I get it at $12/hour, 40 hours a week, over half of my income will be spent on his addictions


I'm mad, so I want to say he's garbage...but I know God doesn't make garbage...and God loves him just as much as he loves me.


I'm just so mad that he will not commit to doing the work to get better...only those empty words, "I'll get better"


just exhausted

Dear Hurting,


((((((( Hugs & Prayers for you ))))))).  I can so relate to the hurt & dissappointment.  At least your is admitiing he has a problem.  Mine says he is only a binge drinker - ya right - 24-7.  I am a recovering A so I know that I had to be ready & no one could tell me otherwise. 


It is sooo very hard waiting for them to hit " Thier " bottoms.  Keep doing your program, read literature & go to meetings.  Keep looking after yourself and hang in.


And take AWAy Credit cards !!!!


God Bless You


Yours in Recvoery

(((((hurting))))  I know your pain, over and over again.  What I had to do, was change the things I can.  That meant, closing credit cards and opening up ones with just my name, closing the checking account and opening up one in just my name.  I had to take care of me.  The way I seen it I was going to lose my house if I din't take care of myself.  Good luck to you
