Alcoholism

Ever since I could remember my uncle has struggled with alcoholism. I remember when I was a child when my father would drop me off at my grandmother’s house to before school and my dad would pick up my uncle who lived at my grandma’s at 30 years old. Some days my uncle would be so drunk my uncle would not get out of bed or he would wet the bed. He eventually got married to a nice girl but she devoiced three years later because of his drinking problem. After that he lost his job (in which his bother was his boss), and lost his house. The last couple of Christmases he has showed up drunk and passes out in a chair. Recently he had a job interview and he needed white shirts and boots, so I gave him my old boots and bought him shirts. The next day was his first day of the job and he was late, so then he drove his buddies car to the place without a license to the place and then got there and the boss of the place thought he was drunk so he blew legally drunk and lost the job. I have never seen some one mess up there life that much. The good thing is that he is now going to AA meetings every day.  Alcoholism has hurt my family very much and there is not much we can do about it. If you know that is struggling with alcoholism help as much as you can with out making the addiction worse.
