Are you exhausted from trying to control your alcoholic spouse and struggling to find answers?
Playing Chicken with God is the author's story of realizing her husband was an alcoholic-something that took her by surprise.
Sarah Erstwhile reveals how she came to the realization that she did not have a functional definition of what an alocholic acted like-as well as why she was unprepared to deal with alcoholism. She also answers questions such as:
What do you do when every aspect of your alcoholic relationship is a dilemma, and you feel overwhelmed and desperate in your marriage?
What do you do when no matter what you try, your spouse won't stop drinking?
If you have an alcoholic spouse, what steps can you take to minimize your isolation?
The author's goal in sharing her story is to validate the feelings of nonalcoholic partners who find themselves struggling to be happy in a marriage or a serious relationship. She writes unapologetically about trying to make it work for more than twenty years and eventually having to bury her husband.
