Dose This Make Me an Alcohol Abuser?
Question by Not Here: Dose this make me an alcohol abuser?
OK my wife wants me to cut off all contact with my sister and I see her point but its pissing me off she is making me chose because my sister has always been there for me through my abuse and everything and my wife has been there for me too I just I don’t know because I have really bad depression and PSTD and for some reason whenever she comes over we drink a lot to me getting wasted and I only drink when she is there so I don’t know what to do I don’t want to chose because I love them both more then anything and they both mean so much and its probably not a good idea for me to be drinking with my depression and the meds but I have no idea what else to do with her she is 19 and I am 25 but my wife is asking me to cut her off and not let her come around anymore my wife says that its making me worse I mean the only time i drink is with my sister and stuff and i know i should not be drinking with my meds and all but i am not sure what else to do this is the only thing that my sister likes to do…… any advise is welcomed and thanks all

In a word YES! Simply tell your sister you are not going to drink. I think your real problem is that you don’t want to stop drinking. My father was an alcoholic and he too had all kinds of excuses. If you are on meds for depression, you are taking your life in your hands by adding the alcohol. So, grow up, be a man, stop drinking, and get ready to be a father. Unless you want to be married to alcohol. It’s your choice. Get yourself a Bible and start reading the Gospel of John. Introduce your sister to Jesus. I can’t imagine why a grown man would want to keep his kid sister drinking. You should try to get her to stop. You are the older brother, act like it.

Find some people who have been through what you’re going through (there are groups that are easy to find) and just listen to their stories and see if you can relate. It’s possible that your wife wouldn’t object to you attending a meeting with your sister. Just listen to the stories of the people you meet and see if you can relate. It sounds like what you’re doing isn’t making you happy and could be dangerous and possibly illegal. That is not a good way to show love for your sister or yourself. By harming yourself, you are also harming these women who love you. Peace be w/you.
