Medusa is a wise woman. Out to the curb with him and change the locks ASAP.

My daughter is engaged to a recovering alcoholic and he is wonderful. However, I do worry about relapses. I'm not one to point fingers because I've had relapses (the last one a year ago and believe me IT WAS AWFUL AND EMBARASSING). We talk and he said that his 7 year old son was what opened his eyes and made him realize he had a problem. He's been sober since.

I dated a guy who was in recovering as well. We looked out for each other, went to meetings together, etc. He turned out to be a real jerk, cheating on me. THE END. I'm glad I'm single.

Hang in there Candace. Stay strong for YOURSELF and your furbabies. You don't need someone like that to drag you down and jeopardize your sobriety.

Candace,

His addiction is not your responsibility nor is it your cross to bear. Be strong, do the right thing and take care of yourself. You deserve the best in life!

Thanks, guys!

M&B - I went ROARING to an Al-Anon meeting on Friday - we have two here a week. Usually I am down the hall with my Bill friends - got a bit of good natured teasing afterwards about 'going to the other side' LOL.

Will make Fridays my meeting night...Monday is my home group, so may go back and forth.

Yes, I KNOW the stuff you say I know. Waiting to hear about the locks. As it turns out I don't have to go anywhere this morning and am supposed to call a guy in program about storing all this stuff in his garage.

Candace, prayers for you. I am sorry you are going through this. As for advice, I agree with everyone else.

Take care. Love and hugs and purrs to you,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, Bob, and Sparkler
