   Hi Dusty,
   Thanks for stopping by. The best action you can take is to visit the Al-Anon website, this organization supports those who are affected by the alcoholic. By joining the group, you will get great support, strength and advice. If you are not keen on joining a group, you can read what they have to say on the website. http://www.al-anon.alateen.org
   Do some research on how to handle alcoholics. Also, visit the Spiritual River for some good advice. http://www.spiritualriver.com
   Good luck.

   The drama, the heartbreak is the test of how much I can take… unresolved issues has me reaching for tissues, sobbing my heart out, getting to know who I am by doing things that are not in line with what I feel is right. I had a talk with god and he always has my back. I feel connected to this life force once again, I look at the situation with love and I move on, stronger and wiser. I have a substance abuse problem, problem is I’ll abuse anything I can escape into – it’s an addiction. I’m fighting it – I’m embracing it and learning from it. I had to cover up my feelings, feelings that were enraged with disappointment, hurt and confusion – my life looked like one big illusion so I escaped into a reality I’d like to call high.
   I have the heart of a poet, one you would read in a romance novel… but that’s really the way I feel. There is beauty in this life and the love that I have in my heart is real. There is aftermath of years that I have been abused and neglected, rejected and faced the hard reality of pain, deep pain. The thing is I didn’t come to terms with what I wasn’t aware of, so when my life spun out of control I had to take a closer look, I was forced to do or die. There is that part of me that always remained in tact, one of the spiritual essence of my being that never had been touched, it’s always love. I dream of a world that is of calm, peace and inner conviction. A being that despite being challenged which was my choice before entering this physical world overcame and rose from the darkness into the light.
