Well, as my husband continues to relapse with alcohol from time to time, it was recommended to me that I begin to attend Al-Anon meetings. So far, I have not been able to make it to a face to face meeting, but I have joined an online meeting and so far it has been very helpful. I realize that I cannot control anyone but myself, especially not an alcoholic/addict. I also cannot rely on anyone but myself to make me happy. So, I am starting my path to serenity. I am trying to remove his chaos from my life (and the lives of the smaller two). I will not try to control him. I will keep a peaceful house. He can either choose to join us in serenity or remain alone in chaos. That is what I can do for all of us to show my love for myself, my kids, and my husband.
