Being a bartender for 20 yrs., I met more than my share of people with drinking problems.

Yes, I did many times while filling them full of coffee.

It's one of the hardest things to see a really nice guy into a crazy _ _ _ ....

I had to confront the love of my life, Jim, several times. He was drinking so much at one time, that the bed linens seemed to be soaked every morning -- complete bummer ....

It's heartbreaking to have to make a grown man feel like a baby to get him to slow down.

My husband is a recovering alcoholic- the first ten years of our marriage were absolute hell.

 

Who you are to them- not who they are to you- is probably they best way to determine whether or not to confront them. You really can't do much, just present options and learn how to deal with how their disease impacts you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

by now u all probably know i drink like a fish....i guess u could call it a problem, the price of the booze keeps going up...lol...but i drink at home, and never get plastered..have built up a tolerance for the booze..my father was the same way, and it is hereditry  .i have booze in my coffee in the morning..never drank when i was working..have about 7 or 8 snorts a day...am healthy as a horse, or so the dr's tell me...the dr. said i am the healthiest bad habit person he has ever seen...i don't take any meds for anything, and my liver is fine..i smoke 2 pks of cigs a day, and salt the hell out of everything

My dd's dad was an alcoholic. He died when he was 57. My dd has been careful with drinking because it is hereditary. I never married him because of it. He didn't think he had a problem. There were 6 kids in the family. 3 died due to their drinking.
