Unfortunately the majority of alcoholics just never get help in time, and refuse to reach out for help until it is too late. If only they had just realized that they had indeed had a problem and that at least somebody had managed to have to perseverance to get the message through. Sometimes though a tragic stories can lead to help other people and even react if they are able to see the same thing happening in their own life. Obviously those who suffer most are an alcoholics direct family so as we all have family this story should be easy enough to relate to.
Bill Kenny woke up one morning to find his 50 year old wife passed out in their bed. She didn't have cancer or heart disease but was severely depressed as her children had recently moved away and she felt lonely and worthless.
Unfortunately Bill was not a very loving man and certainly wasn't the best listener. In fact, he often put her down and criticized her feelings and even managed to distance himself from her dilemma. So Mrs Kenny tried to find for comfort elsewhere, and due to her lack of real friends in her life, she found something that she thought would help - Alcohol.
Why Alcohol? It makes you forget and the problems just disappear making it the perfect solution for a depressed person. Unfortunately Mrs Jones didn't stop drinking for 21 days until one morning she just didn't wake up due to her comatose state. During her stay in hospital her family were only interested in getting her to stop drinking alcohol, and not affronting the issues that most worried Mrs Jones. You see, she was still under the illusion that without alcohol her life would remain a dark existence, so she ended up not even wanting to talk to any of her family.
When she left the hospital Bill was charged with the task of keeping her away from alcohol. She was in a desperate state, and later said she was planning suicide, but then that very morning the phone rang. It was her daughter Caitlin with some good news. She was pregnant and had decided to move home as they would need her help with the other grandchildren. With her life suddenly turned upside down she found that there was reason to live. Even though she had to wait several months for their return, she was a new women.
The reason I told this story was twofold. Alcohol is not a solution to depression and if you do know an alcoholic personally, ask them what the matter is and act accordingly. Even if you can get their problem met half way it could prevent a tragic end.
