I feel that it’s heartbreaking to try and make a life with an addict who doesn’t want to get help, they don’t want to change anything because they don’t believe that there’s anything wrong. If you tell them that they’re hurting you it doesn’t make any difference because they’re selfish, the addiction makes them this way, they lie to themselves that they don’t have a problem. There is hope for them but they have to want it and it’s starts with them admitting that they’re sick, alcoholism is an illness and it will kill them if they don’t stop, God helps those who help themselves.

I just wanted to add that I am not being judgemental, I speak from experience and I’m no stranger to this painful feeling of despair, try to stay positive and make sure that you look after yourself, the caregiver is often overlooked in these situations.
