you're only 19? Wow! I hope your having more fun at that age than i
did - I went and got married and I definitely wasn't ready for it.
Have you ever gone to Al-Anon or Alateen? It can be helpful for
dealing with any kind of alcoholic and I can tell you that it helped me
a lot. I married two alcoholics/addicts and lived with another for a
few years before I got into Al-anon and it saved my life. I realize
that I was attracted to these people because they reminded me of my
birth-mom who was a pill addict and very abusive. (I made this
connection after reading the books Women Who Love Too Much and Letters
From Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood - also based on the 12
steps of recovery used in Al-Anon but under the auspices of a different
program, relationships anonymous. I have not heard of this program
anywhere, except in her books. But it has a LOT in common with Al-Anon
apparently) Anyway, that and a couple of years of celibacy, without
even a date, I got my head on straighter and I am now married to a man
who doesn't drink at all and who is usually nice - even though lately
he has been a pain where I sit down. But i guess everyone is sometimes
and if they were perfect, they probably wouldn't be walking this earth
for us to meet, date, marry or whatever.)
Al-Anon has been a great deal of help to me in dealing with PEOPLE
period - not just alcoholics.
