Quote From: dixiedeb

Dear Dr. Phil I can understand where the mans wife is coming from because my husband is aloso an alcholic but hes been sober for 146 days..... There is a couple organazations to help the family members Al A Non and Ala teen .... They will help alot it did wonders for me and my family.... if the girls need someone to talk to you may give them my e mail address and i will help them in any way i can ... Alcholism is a disease... the family needs to remember that they didn't cause they can't control and they can't cure .... its all up to the husband and fathere ge has to make a choice everyday weather to drink or not to drink..... it will be hard for the family... because its still hard for me.... my husband has not relapsed yet thank goodness and god willing he won't

Hello from Al-Anon member to another. Just wanted to congratulate your husband on his newly found sobriety. 146 days and hopefully counting.

This round of activie alcoholism on my husband's part is the second one. . .and I cannot say enough about Al-anon and the wonderful help and support I get from those who have been there and done that.

I have heard that a recovering alcoholic is only one drink away and how true. I hope and pray that your husband stays away from that one drink.
