Poll: Do you live with an alcoholic?

If you do, how the heck to you deal with it?





I live with 2 roommates (a married couple) who are extreme alcoholics. They both drink whenever they are awake, all day long. I moved in with them because I had no job and they wanted no rent. So for now, I am stuck here. Just got a part-time job, but as soon as I can, I am outta here.





My question is, how the heck do you handle freaking 24/7 drunks? I just go to my room, but I am screaming inside. These are extreme drunks.Poll: Do you live with an alcoholic?
I was married to one, and it was hell. Hang in ther, but, get out as SOON as you can or you will start becoming depressed from being around it all the time. Sorry sweetie, if ya wanna talk, I'm here.Poll: Do you live with an alcoholic?
I live with an alcoholic drug addicted dad but I have lived with it all my life and am use to it. I mean you learn to cope after living with it for so long and having to take care of him when he is sick. I have had to be my own person and take care of myself since I was 5 but that doesn't make him a bad person. Alcoholics are just like anyone else who are addicted to something whether it be an eating disorder or sex. It is really sad when those sort of things happen to people who are so smart and amazing. What they need is help. The way that I have learned to cope is to just accept it for what it is. It is so hard to get them help when they aren't wiling to admit that they need it. I wish that I could tell you how to cope, but I really dont know how to tell you because as I said I grew up with it and have had to grow tough skin. Good luck though getting out of there.
i lived with a druggie she would drive like that when i was in the car i even got in a head on collision cause of it. if i where you i would get out of it soon cause they might kill you some how. anyway you could tell them to go to rehab like i did or ask a family member if you could move in with them till you get on your feet or even hide there supplies so they cant drink and steel there car keys, and if they asked why say idk where your car keys are or your alcohol.
I lived with a step father who was an alcoholic the best way to deal with them is to confront them or move out


I moved out and ws never prouder of myself for taking a stand when I did I made sure I spoke my mind before I left sounds like they need to do some serious growing up part time job or not if you dont like the situation you are in fix it

I don't live with them anymore. I grew-up and moved out,


when I was seventeen. My momma is an alcoholic.





So sorry to hear about your dilemma. I've had to flop at


people's homes, now and then, too. Just look at it as a


journey. Keep the faith, hold on.





God will help you. I promise He will. ....my prayers.
I do believe I'm starting to turn into one. It's the pressure of answering all these questions. Sorry about your current situation. You say these are extreme drunks. If they are happy drunks, I don't see the problem. If they are angry or mean drunks, then I really hope you go full time in the very near future. Good luck.
Yes I have and all can do is go to your room til you can get away...Good Luck! Love honey
I grew up with one--my father. Then I married and divorced two. These days, I will not repeat that. Stay away from them and move out as soon as possible. They won't change till they want to, if ever.
No but I know a few, if you can afford it move out find another place with roommates who are normal.
You have two choices ( Move out or join in )


When in Rome, do as the Roman's do.
I cant
yea i live wit myself
you leave home as long as possible every day, that's the only way to deal with alkies!
you could just join them LOL......no that wouldn't do...

You should move out then! You get rent free why are you griping?
No i just aspire to be one some day.Practice practice.
no thank God
No I don;t but you best get out of that insanity asap... Living at a shelter is better than that .
not much u can do....just try to stay out of they're arguments. often alcoholics can get violent.....so for your own safety....save money for a new place...and until then, be attentive and safe....
