It is sad to say but I was a little relieved to see I was not the only one. I am scared and emotionally drained. are there sites that help coach through the process of helping yourself. The comment I found so true but yet I nver realized, "addicted to fighting" . I know I myself must get back to me for myself and my young children. They need a leader of the family and I need to step up. I have read a lot of the alcoholic comments. It is sad to say but I was a little relieved to see I was not the only one.

My sister is providing me safe haven and is coming to Florida to drive back with me and my few possessions. The question I have is after I tell my job and have the 2-3 weeks of time between semesters.... is when do I tell my husband? The day I leave? a note? how do I leave when I know he will act crazy and this frightens me more because I do not know what he will do to me....

He’s battled some serious demons (and won) during the time we have been married, but one of the things that kind of went away with the demons was his interest in music. Maybe it was because he wasn’t hanging out in bars anymore, or maybe he was just getting older and he thought he had to let go of his dream to be a rock star.

He has been always drinked beer, but he got into vodka really heavy about 7 years ago. He lost a business he had with his sister and brother in-law. He drinks and sleeps most of the day. He is also a diabetic who does not take his shots anymore. I left about 2 weeks ago, which is my 2nd time to leave. I went back the last time because of my cats. The house smells like smoke(really bad). We have 3 kids(2 of who are married) my youngest goes to college about 8 hours from home. When she does come home she likes to stay in her room. But, last time she was home she told him how much the house smelled like smoke and that it was awful. He yelled at her and said to her, why do you even come home, go back to college. This upset me so much that I left. She will be home this weekend for Thanksgiving, staying with me at her grandparents. It is not fair that he gets to stay in the house. I want my house back. I know I have to get this divorce starting. I am so afraid. Is there anything you can say to help me? Thanks, Valerie I have been married for 31 years(I was 16, he was 18).

I totally agree with Dr. Joseph Dispenza when he discusses the definition of an addiction in What the Bleep Do We Know? And addiction anything we do that we can’t control.I was addicted to anger, and even went through a bit of withdrawal when I made the decision to eradicate it from my mind.
