that’s a great big YES! I got it from my father, and he got it from is father. And they died of alcoholism. I’m working on it. The 100% Irish blood don’t help. Really I try to not drink, been to AA and treatment. Quit for 7 years, then i got sick of aa and started to drink again. But I’m trying to stop again. Down deep in my heart and soul, i know it will someday kill me.

My guy married his first because she was pregnant young & at the time – that is what you did – marriage. He worked his tail off for 28 yrs to provide and he did a great job. Kids are grown, multiple properties, nice vehicles, vacations, etc.. One day she got up & told him she wanted a divorce. He tried for 2 years with counseling and all he could to make things better- she pretended & come to find out had been cheating on him. She had him served & for another 2 yrs he was in several accidents, alcohol, etc. When I met him, he had been straightening things out for himself for about 1 1/2 years, though not all was finished. OK – weve been strong for @6 months now & it has been a roller coaster and so we are taking things slow. There’s so much to consider, but I wonder if after all that time will he ever, truly feel worthy of love again and will he ever really trust it? He tells me all the time how I have changed his perspective on things & I feel good about it – BUT?????????????
