Ashley Rosebloom, author of “Coping with an Alcoholic Spouse – 31-Day Plan for Dealing with Your Alcoholic Husband or Wifeâ€, has been helping people learn to cope with addicts since 1998. She’s attended thousands of support group meetings designed to keep alcoholics sober and to teach friends and family members how to cope.
Here are a couple of lessons from the book:
Day 1 - The first thing I want you to realize is that you are consumed with your spouse’s behaviors at all times. So much so that you may have even lost yourself. However, the process of making positive changes in your life occurs one day at a time. Today, I want you to really pay attention to your thoughts. Are you living in the present moment, or lost in some other dimension of time? Are you obsessing over regrets of the past or fearing the future? If so, then you are missing out on the blessings that may be occurring in the moment. Do your best to keep your mind on today and enjoy the moments you are in. Don’t let your alcoholic spouse run amuck through your thoughts today.
Day 2 - You should take time today to make a long list of all the things you love to do in life by yourself. Choose one that will fit into your schedule and do it. Don’t invite your spouse to be a part of it – this is your activity. One of the problems often faced when dealing with an alcoholic is that you can get so intertwined with them that you don’t know where they begin and you end. This is one of the ways that you can start to detach from the chaos of your spouse’s actions and start enjoying your life a little bit more.
As you can tell, these tips are straightforward and to the point. You won’t be wasting your time trying to read through a pile of useless ramblings. Instead, you are going to be learning from condensed information that you can start applying to your situation immediately.
A quick note about being abused: Abuse is common among alcoholic relationships. Even if you don’t purchase this book, please get help for yourself if you are being abused. Don’t wait one more day. Find an organization in your community who can help you and call them immediately.
Another tip from the book on how to deal with an alcoholic spouse:
Day 14 - Never have a serious conversation with your spouse when they are drunk or hung-over. You wouldn’t try to talk to someone about serious life issues if they had just come out of surgery and were under the effect of an anesthetic, would you? Of course not! Today, be careful of the things you discuss with the alcoholic when they’ve been drinking. Instead, wait for an opportunity when they are somewhat sober.
