DESCRIPTION:
Skeptical at best. A. Larson As a mental health professional married to an alcoholic, I can relate to all the pain, anger and helplessness felt by the author. Her bitterness, however, comes through in a strong way that often turned me off because it increased my own resentments. While it felt cathartic to read at times, mostly I wanted her to find peace in spite of her circumstances.As a. "Same" according to Joy. Like reading through my journal, hoping for on an alternate ending Time will tell. I am beginning to make the change now.The most difficult thing I have ever done. There has got to be some thing different.. no answers here Keep looking if you are looking for hope or answers. Al Anon is far more helpful than this account. This is a sad story but you won't take anything away from it.
I describe how I reached these conclusions, the choices I made and acted upon, to improve my life. We did not cause the problem. Trying to change him. This is the life I have written about. “To me the sound of a metal bottle cap unscrewing against a glass bottle is the worst sound in the world. How I slowly came to realize that I was always waiting, wanting him to change. We are not going mad. In writing this book I hope that some one else who lives with an alcoholically dependant person can be helped. We must change ourselves in order to get our life back.. My personal observations and feelings as I lived with a husband addicted to alcohol, on a roller coaster ride of hope and despair, love and loathing, embarrassment and anger, dreading each day. To my husband it is heaven.” This true account is my story. Without implementing change, everything will stay the same as it is now. The good guy, bad guy, drinking, not drinking, telling the truth, lying, worrying, hope, please not this time, maybe he will stop – or maybe I am going mad – perhaps it is me. You become worn down by the windscreen wiper mentality. We alone cannot change the alcoholic. It had to be me who changed. Wrong. I was isolated, confused and upset that I was not doing enough to help him
