Alcoholics are disabled too

My dad, my uncle and my 1st two husbands were all alcoholics. Dad took a whole bottle of pills, while he was drunk and woke up the next morning snd was dead on his arrival to the hospital. He had tried to committ suicide alot of times before. He had asked mom for a divorce and she would not ggive it to him. He was not willing to run away from the situation physically, but instead he would run away by getting drunk all the time.
My 1st husband who was also an alcoholic. He finally went to a rehab program and died right after he was there a few days.
My 2nd husband died in a nursing home. He was a recovering alcoholic. He actually did not drink while we were married, because he said God had told him that if he kept drinking he was going to die. So he stopped drinking and went to his brother's; and got into a salvation army program, where he lived until he got his disability checks started. He died in his sleep on his birthday. That day we had had a birthday party for him. It took me a few months to get over him dying, even though he was in the hospital for about 6 months to a year and then he was in a nursing home. He wanted me to take him home to live. I'm glad I didn't. Because he couldn't walk, towards the end. He would have had to have a 24 hour nurse and I told him "NO". He kept begging, for a long time.
Well I also had a friend who was an alcoholic. She ended up killing herself because she got drunk after she saw her caseworker. But for her she would have gotten drunk because of any old excuse. She was just addicted to alcohol just like my dad and my uncle, and my 2 husbands I mentioned above. Why do I say they were all disabled?? Because all of them were unhappy with their lives and instead of doing something about it they each drank themselves to death. My uncle was the only one in that group, who didn't die as a result of being an alcoholic. The one thing each of them had in common was that something was wrong and each of them resorted to alcohol, instead of even trying to correct the situation they found themselves in, or if they tried to fight their depression they never totally learned to deal with it.For example - my dad was fighting depression and had tried to kill himself many times.Plus my second husband was bipolar. Which means he was depressed alot of the time, but was high sometimes too. I have known other alcoholics in my lifetime, but these are the ones I knew best.
