  Questions for Those in an Alcoholic Relationship

  by FreePeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these questions are aimed at non-alcoholic ex-jw's who have survived or left an alcoholic relationship.. given that the bible says god hates a divorcing, to what extent did religious beliefs keep you in the alcoholic relationship?.

  to what extent did peer pressure from the congregation keep you in the relationship?.

  what made you decide to leave the alcoholic relationship when you did?.

  RHW,

  You have my sympathies. I was married to an alcoholic for 15 years. Most people don't realize it, but it takes alot of strength to stay with one for so long. You have to be good at doing things alone...and taking care of yourself.

  For me, I reached a point where I just had no more to give. I had all the joy and vibrancy for life sucked right out of me. I was doing all the giving...and maintaining my own emotional well being...and the well just ran dry one day. He wasn't an evil man...and he probably still loves me to this day, but I had to get out of that relationship to save myself, or my kids would have had no stable adult in their lives. I don't know if it will come to that for you, but you have my sympathies and support wherever you're at.

  Thanks guys,

  You are all so sweet! s to all of you and *WHACKS* to some of you...you know who you are.

  We had a holiday open house where I work today, and Doug came at lunch time and brought me flowers and chocolates...and my boss gave me a gift certificate for Christmas to a spa...a massage, manicure and pedicure. And I start a 13 day vacation today, with Xmas just around the corner. Could life get any better? Woohoo! And I haven't even jumped his bones yet, so the best part of the evening is still ahead of me.

  I love you all...and that's not just the margaritas talking. Well, ok...just a little bit. But Doug, sigh...you make me smile, I trust you completely with my heart, you stimulate my brain like no one else ever has...and that is the highest compliment I can think of. Well, you stimulate other parts too...but I'll whisper more about that in your ear in just a few minutes. I am grateful that life brought us together right when we both needed to believe in love again.

  Hey ISP,

  My kids are 15 and 16, and have read the books. Not sure I would take young ones to it, might be some scary scenes for them.

  Slip...you purist you I thought they took very little poetic license with things, but that's just my opinion. Even if you haven't read the books, I would think this a great adventure film. Maybe in your case, you would have enjoyed the movie if you hadn't read the books,

  Good morning all,

  Yes they left certain parts out of the movie that were in the book...if they hadn't the movie would have been 21 hours long?

  But as a whole, the movie follows the book very closely. It was so exciting seeing the imagination of Tolkien brought to life. I wonder if he would have liked to see the movie? And Legolas is one hot elf WOOHOO! I'd go live in a tree with him. Enjoy the movie gang...I can't wait for the next one, do you think they'll make us wait a whole year before they release the 2nd one? I hope not.

  I would give it a 10 on a scale of 1-10. It is long though, almost 3 hours. But I liked it so much, and I feel there are details I may have missed, I think I will go see it again in a few weeks. Gosh it was great...that's all I will say for now!
