No. Even if they are a friendly drunk, I couldn't deal with an alcoholic, and if they were drunk every night, they would definitely be an alcoholic. It only gets worse.
-
No. I find it difficult to tolerate alcoholics and meth addicts. Perhaps that's because I used to be both, though.
-
no i wouldnt!
-
if i loved them yes an i would try like hell to find out whats eating away at them, people have problems an can't find a way out sometimes. i've been there an i lost everything i ever loved, an everyday i wish someone would have been there to help .
-
Been there, and no I'd never do it again.
-
i would try to help them resolve it but there is not a snowballs chance in hell that i would just put up with it a second longer than it took me to discover that he was one. you shouldn't either and you dont have to.
-
Never. If I haven't left and I'm not trying to get them to talk to me then: a) I've mentally killed off myself and/or b} I'm paralysed with fear of them
-
No, because i could be with someone that didn't love themselves enough to avoid the dangers of becoming an alcoholic. That and it's also among one of the substances that you can actually die from withdrawl. Not to mention the affects of DT (shakes) from drinking exsesive amounts of alcohol.
-
well, not a drunk but, someone who has a few drinks sure..
-
get them into AA
-
NO.
-
I just can't see it... no I couldn't put up with it.
-
I did for 10 years before we split up.

If you love somebody, the first thing to try is to help them, in my opinion. If they repeatedly refuse help, or change mood, then a fair warning... and if still nothing changes, good-by. Do you know about Joseph Brodsky? A Russian-born poet who became a US citizen. By some accounts, he spent half his life in the US drunk and anonymous, until taken under the wings of a woman who loved him. Thanks to her, he was able to focus on his writing and eventually became a Nobel Prize laureate in 1987. Mind you, most sitautions end up on the otehr extreme, but one must give it a little try.

No, you are living with a stranger.

I did, for nearly ten years, and it caused me severe stress and led to my being suicidal. It was only the help of friends, an understanding boss at work and therapy, oh, and divorce, that got me through it all. I tried everything, but if the person doesn't want to stop drinking, there's precious little you can do about it. If you are describing your situation, then I wish you all the best - but don't underestimate the damage this can do to you.
-
I lived with someone that way for 20+ years. They found someone else and left me.....Cheers
-
Maybe. It would really depend on how they act when they're drunk.
-
no...I'd tell them..get help or Im outta here...
-
nope, they would have to get help.
