Alcoholism Resources
There are a number of alcoholism-related resources available to you and your family which may be able to help you make the difficult decision you are facing easier. Some of these include:
- Alcoholics Anonymous. Founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson, AA is one of the most renowned twelve-step support programs in existence. For nearly 80 years, it has helped people suffering from alcoholism overcome their disease.
- Al-Anon. The companion support group to AA, Al-Anon helps the families of those who suffer from alcoholism cope with the twelve-step program. It may be an excellent resource for you and your family.
While alcoholism is a disease, it is one which can only be cured through the dedication of the sufferer. If your spouse’s alcoholism is putting the safety of you and your children at risk, divorce may be an option worth considering.
