Sadly addicts put addiction First. Even in AA only a small proportion of alcoholics remit. It's a very long shot and a road to hell for them and their families.

That's addiction before everything, spouse, kids, friends and even life its self. It is a terrible to know that is the truth. That an addict dies destroyed in ruins and damaged. Even welcomed by them as they embrace the bottle. I know this I was married to a compulsive gambler determined to live in addiction and it had priority over everything in his life.

Protect your children from the reality but not the knowledge. Alcohol kills the spirit, the love and the body. It destroys inexorably and without restraint. You are wise to prevent it from taking you too.

I am sad for you and the girls. You are in my prayers as you have been since I first posted to you.

Morbo, you have your children that's important as children come first.
