How to Help a Spouse Struggling with Addiction

Wonderful article! I am a recovered alcoholic (9 years here shortly). What I found for myself, and from the alcoholics I have helped…we can only help ourselves. I had to get sober for me, and I had to make the decisions. Well, almost…

I was on my knees the last day I was a drunk, ready to kill myself. Then I heard God say “Try sober”. I made the decision and turned it over to God…and the rest is wonderful sober history.

Some people are unaware that there is a parallel group to AA (alcoholics anonymous) called Alanon for family members of alcoholics.
