But if you don't wish to be with alcohol, I encourage you to make the efforts, and end the relationship sooner, rather than later.
amen!
i was talking to a friend the other day who is an alcoholic. every time i talk to him i lecture him about quitting and he always says "soon, but not today".
he says stress is too much right now to quit (the most common alcoholic enabler), but when i explain alcohol is a depressant and he says he knows it seems to make no difference. he wants to wait for a period of his life where there is less stress but it will never happen because he is working all day and drinking all evening.
the best fix is to stop making excuses and DO IT NOW!
