Living with alcoholic

I'm a good and honest well looking man and I just recently started to live with a nice woman which consumes alcohol every night. She is very much for partying,which I am not since I hardly taste alcohol,and when she goes to dance she arrives next morning. I feel very bad about this and every time I bring up the subject she acuese me of attacking her. I love peace and harmony and all the beautiful in life.

What can I do ???

I only wish to be happy in a supportive and loving relationsship.

Please advice me.

ive been there too i had to give her a choice me or the beer she did slow down alot but she never quit completely in the end she chose the beer over me it is hard to deal with a drunk every day and your love cant fix her she has to fix herselfhandshake
I guess the love for alcohol overshadows everything else. I'm planning to try al anon meetings, have you done that?

Many thanks,
yes i have been to all of them i grew up in a house with an alcaholic and had to go to meetings when dad was quitting and i had my own problem 20 years ago but i do know the feelings your having i still love my ex but i cant do it anymore her problem is not mine anymore and i do have some peace of mind but i still worry for her
An alcoholic (and she does sound like one) chooses alcohol over relationships until they hit bottom. How sad for you to find out after you started to live with her.

I'd suggest you offer her your love or alcohol, she can't have both because with alcohol, you cannot be happy. But tell her if she chooses you, you will support her effort to redirect her life (and take better care of her health). And only have this conversation when she is sober and relaxed. Do not raise your voice, speak only lovingly.

Good luck. And take care of yourself.
Speaking of the truth, thank you very much.
If I were younger and lived in Iceland, I'd drink water for the rest of my life! You're a cutie pie!
say see ya and exit fast;
There's an old saying "if you can't beat em join em". You want to be supportive go out with her, dose not mean you have to drink. Talk, talk, talk to her while she drinking every night something must be on her mind. If all else fails pull the pin.
doh did you not take your time to get to know this woman???? surely you would know if she drank excessively???? dunno Too many pple rush into a relationship without actually knowing the person doh doh doh
You will not change her no matter how nice a guy you are. She has to want to stop drinking or every other action is futile. An alcoholic will choose alcohol before nearest and dearest.
There is help out there such as AA, councelling and aftercare but its a long hard road fraught with obstacles. Unless you really think its going to be worth a try, the selfish thing to do would be to cut and run before this senario destroys you too.
I'm sorry, it sounds like a bad situation for you. I've lived with an alcoholic, and nobody ever wins. I'm with luckybonnie though... you are a cutie, and I'd drink water too if I lived closer to Iceland!! Best of luck to you!! teddybear
@riley - He is a dream isn't he? I think we should organize a fan club. Give him support for the duration then organize a trip to visit him! At some point she will either quit or he will - and we can celebrate either way!
@nord - I think riley may be a prospect!
Your loyal matchmaker,
Bonnie
a no win situation, and you have my empathy..
Nord: It's you who said you are very different: she's into partying, you like peace and harmony. It's not nice to say it, but why have you started such a predestinated relationship? I know love doesn't ask when it comes, but still...
Hope things will get better, but honestly I'd advice you to save yourself, ending all that.

Hey Nord

This is a situation you can grow and learn from. And its not about the love of alcohol. Its just and ascape from something else. 4eva gave a good sugestion i think. Or you can walk away....but I believe that 'God' is so trustworthy that he will give you the same sort of steppingstone that you have asked for just around the next corner. I know this must sound strange but it begins with YOU. Its your gift to grow. Embrace it.The way you exit is the way you enter.

Good luck.
She will keep partying till she gets tired....You are not going to stop her from partying because its something she enjoys, you will not be able to make her stop drinking either, you can wait till she comes around...my advise, get out now before you waste anymore time.
I rarely have a drink and I think you are cute also.
It probably wont change !!When I was in my early 40s I lived with a woman for four years or so, and in the end I wouldn't take her anywhere,she would get shloshed on the smallest amount of grog and make a bloody spectacle of herself,and Ide have to cart her out kicking and screaming with the air full of in and out words(her)I knew it was her former hard life,but she wouldn't get any help.That ended.No hope.doh
... i would run. She needs to sort her issues out ... these sorts of things HAVE to come from the person themselves .. they have to hit their own wall & come to their own realizations ... she has to be able to admit she has a problem and be willing to fix it ... It's a solo journey, and one you can't help her with. I've been down that road ... I walked away. Unfortunately his love of alcohol totally consumed his life .. it also took his life in the end.
ok, seriously, my mother and both of my ex's were alcoholics- My next husband WILL be normal! ( I know normal is only on the setting on your dryer!)wink
godeas69...She tried Valium it made her worse.She washed it down with Ouzo.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Is easy to hit than to help , to acuse than to find out the problem.
You might be a nice guy , well looking , good and honest.Check your relation : how does start? Did she drank the same the moment you both met? Did she start later ..and why?
What makes her to go there and drink? Why she prefer to do that instead to spend time with you? Does she has more fun there with her friends than to you? Some questions what you have to ask her or yourself.
Is not easy to have someone who loves to drink till she lost her mind but maybe you can help her.Not just for your relation , also for herself.
My mother was an alcoholic as well.And heavy smoker.She used to make bad shows of everything .She did act bad with me the moment was drunk , but the moment was in the coffin I felt enormous mercy and sadness for her.Was young , to young to live this world.And partly because of the bloody bad habbits.
