I have been with my husband since our Freshman year in high school and we both turn 50 this year! He has always been a loving, providing, wonderful father and husband but always enjoyed drinking. Over the last 2 years his drinking has become pure alcoholism .. 10+ beers a day, and liquor in between. He is no longer the man that I married and who has stood side by side with me raising our children (now 20 & 15). I have loved him through the lies he has told, the indescretion and the heartbreak it caused, and through the daily distress and anxiety of his constant alcohol usage. I am watching the man I love distroy himself and our family. I ask that you pray for him and our family. I ask that you pray for health and healing over this terrible disease that has affected our lives and the lives of so many others and I ask that you pray for my strength and the strength of our children to be strong during this painful time in our lives. Thank you!
