Alcohol use and dysregulation

[waverider]

I stay positive because now because I now what it is about, I can do things to have a braking effect, but I can't completely stop it. Regaining my own life and sense of control, knowing I have a choice makes a huge difference.

Previously I had no idea and felt completely trapped and helpless.

I have come to accept the reality that my influence is limited. I have come to accept that because of the way she is and inability to live a healthy life the odds of surviving into old age is severely reduced.

Whats left of life is too short to be spent in conflict and stress trying to shoehorn her into a "normal" mould.
