Part 2: Leaving my Alcoholic Boyfriend | Storytime & UPDATE
Here we are, 2 years later after leaving my alcoholic boyfriend.
Did I go back? Did I heal? Hear me spill ALL the Tea!
Here is a link to my first video if you have not seen my story:

If you notice, I'm playing with my hair a lot, because I was a little nervous re-filming and re-opening this wound. But! I hope my tale of moving on is inspiring for those who are trying to leave their alcoholic partners.

Leaving my Alcoholic Boyfriend | Storytime
Переглядів 24 тис.4 роки тому
Thank you so much for listening to my story!! This is a storytime video about the reasons why alcohol played a major part of me deciding to leave my alcoholic boyfriend of 7 years.* I made this video to help anyone out there that is struggling with the decision to stay or leave an alcoholic spouse. My decision to leave was months in the making for me, and it was truly one of the hardest things ...
I gotta ask. You didnt smell it?
I wonder... would these women have the same energy for a guy leaving his alcoholic GF.
Watched this years ago and went to Al Anon. I realized oh shit all these people think they can fix/save the alcoholic and I want to fix and save me. I got him to dump me bc I wouldn’t leave. We spoke years later recently- he’s still a f’ing loser drunk. Still the exact same person in the exact same f’d spot Thanks for sharing your story. These relationships tear you down to pretty much nothing. It took me years to somewhat be ok with my story of being with a raging alcoholic
next video: my ex was toxic for the 3rd time in a row, anyway now im in another relationship this one is the right one i swear
im still with him but i fell like im unbother but alone when I'm watching this I feel like crying I wish he could heal
Thank you ❤❤❤
The thing that keeps us stuck is the hope that things could change. The hope that they would get sober and the small glimpses of the life we are wishing for. I left a year a go but I feel like I am still stuck hoping that they would just choose sobriety and recover. 😢
Way to make it all about you
Omg my boyfriend has a locked office too!!!
This is helpful, thank you.
They are all in denial- he can do no wrong.
So true!!!!
She takes forever to tell a story! I can't deal with over explaining a story
Thank you for sharing this! So relatable
thanks for sharing this , I've just started dating someone I really concern about , his drinking habits scares me af. its been 2 months but I think its time to go away until its too late
Did You leave him?
I was in a long marriage 20yrs+ and finally decided to leave because I knew deep down the behaviour, the hurtful words, the lies, the sneaky drinking would never stop. Hiding bottles in cupboards, drawers even pockets of coats. Of course he would say its all my fault... I now know it's not my fault and alanon taught me to be me. Courage got me through, my daughters supported and loved me to move forward. It takes time to move forward, one step at a time. Life is for living
Good job for choosing yourself 🙏
So far you’re hella annoying. This is all about you. You you you. No wonder he was a drunk. I would be too if I had to listen to you talk about how you feel the entire time. Boyfriend works hard. Has a seizure and you’re concerned you had to be woken up. You’re concerned about your experience. You’re not even working. You don’t even have hobbies. You look boring. Basic. Plain. You said you were with him for 7 years but only spent one of those struggling. 6/7 is 86% that’s a B+. Stop complaining. Having a UA-cam channel doesn’t make you interesting or good. You haven’t spent any time talking about your parter’s perspective and that’s a huge red flag. The goal of a relationship is for both people to come out on top. Leaving someone is giving up. You’re a quitter.
I came here for solid advice and to relate to someone and all I hear is bitching. You’re impressing dumb people with your stories. Dumb people.
I am married to an alcoholic. He has been through 3 rehabs and has failed grossly at keeping promises of his "sobriety." I want to move OUT of state to get away from him. Money is the issue. I am so lucky I found your video. My husband punishes me if he doesn't get his alcohol. He is clueless as far as how much it affects me. I never see him. He is either gone, in his own bedroom (we live separate rooms) and he only speaks to me when me he wants alcohol. I don't have children, but I have two wonderful Border Collies. One I am training to be my service dog. I have trained service dogs for 20 years. I am custom training this dog to serve my own personal needs from trauma.
@@joannajohnson696 Hi just wanted to say... You will find the courage to look after yourself and move on. I think we get so wrapped up in their behaviours we lose ourselves. Life is for living enjoy your dogs and remember one day at a time.
Your a chronic codependant!! Simple!!
He had a seizure because of alcohol withdrawal and he was drinking in secret or by himself because he's trying to stay normal and not withdrawal or he could die. Sounds like he was sick enough that he was drinking just to feel normal or else he will seizure and maybe even go into Delirium Tremons (DT's), Alcohol is a legal substance but it's one of the most dangerous drugs in our society, there are only two drugs that will kill you if you stop them cold turkey as an addict, that's alcohol and benzodiazepines. Sorry to hear what you had to go through. Alcoholism is a serious disease. If someone is that bad they need to go to Detox, either a hospital or rehab to come off it and withdraw under medical supervision so they don't die. Unfortunately, alcoholism is also a disease of denial so he probably didn't want to go to treatment either -- when he needed to, badly. The self-denial and the lying to your face about it is all part of the disease. Alcohol can last in your system for up to 8 days, most detox centers will keep you for 7 and by day 8 you usually follow up with your recovery treatment, either sober living or AA meetings. But every alcoholic needs to get through the withdrawal period before anything. Really sad what you were both going through but thanks for sharing! I'm in recovery myself and stories like this remind me what I never want to go back to.
this is the place where women who reject "nice guys" end up eventually
Wait a second...passed out on carpet, barfed up "Indian food," and smell was off. You couldn't tell he was drunk? That's DRUNK. That's like Frank Gallagher (Netflix show, "Shameless") type shit right there...any child over the age of 9 could recognize that as a very obviously drunk person.
Thank you very much ❤
You did the right thing I've been through this two times!! I'm convinced that all alcoholics are the same, the behaviors, the lying, you learned the hard way but at least you learned, the older you get the harder it gets, the love you have for that person and you feel so sorry for them, you just want them the way they used to be, your very encouraging to people, keep it up
I just left him so let him tell them I left him good stories that he must tell him
I just walked in the door from my alcoholic boyfriend, some good stories to tell him.
I had a very good job and a beautiful life with very sweet friends.. I left everything to live with him and he just kept drinking. Left me alone even on Christmas, in a place I didn’t know with a language I didn’t speak. He is an amazing person but the drinking is ruining our life. After promising me everything he is doing it again. I did my best and want just to leave and restart a new life where I have my control back🥰
the reason i watched your video was to free myself from a alcoholic girlfriend. As you know it leads to nowhere. your a cool intelligent chick . please continue with your channel. the bit of your video is what she does daily. i sailed away as hard as it was .
i think should continue with your channel. you are talented at delivering and great message
your a lovely woman and happy for you
I bet you're still single
So what? Single can be better in many ways.
I think it’s important that we don’t give ultimatums. If we are in a situation that is toxic to our wellbeing it’s up to us to say we are leaving with no conditions. We have to save ourselves first. What they do after that is up to them. We must allow others to make their own decisions even if that decision means they choose alcohol over our relationship. It is very difficult to do as most of us would do anything to help the people we love. We have to extend that same love to ourselves. Best to all of us 🙏🏼💕
Concur my girlfriend drinks a bottle of wine every night
Oh that's no excuses
A lot of Men Turn to alcohol Due To The Woman They Live with.
Alcoholics are an absolute nightmare. They will ruin your life.
My alcoholic boyfriend is going to likely die in the next year and hes only 33, hes having seizures from withdrawal, stomach bleeds and his liver values are double what they should be, do i leave him and let him die alone 'hes lost everything and everyone in his life' and look out for myself or do i stay and love him till hes gone, i dont think he will win this fight with alcohol
Always going to the car
When you’re searching for where the alcohol sigh.. too real
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I relate about 80%. I never lived with him and only dated 3 months. But the missed signs and naïveté I had… his lying and hiding and hygiene…
Struggling to leave the person I'm with I love him lot and care but alcohol is big issue rn
Wow - thank you for sharing. I'm 'lucky' in that my wife and I were both weekend alcoholics (not a drop during the week but come Friday 5pm we drank 24/7 until Sunday night) and eventually my wife started to become worse than me and I remember the fear of seeing her slipping away. Luckily we both turned it around and are 13 months sober and loving it but even me in my addiction had trouble understanding her drinking and behaviours. So I can't imagine what it's like for a 'normal' person being with an alcoholic.
Thank you ~ I needed that! 😢
Thank you for sharing this. I recently had to break up with a woman due to her drinking. You said many things that resonated and validated my decision to break it off with her.
Oh gawd. What about the time you let your boyfriend off the hook and saved him from a lifetime of an overly needy, whiny, complaining you?!
Found the alcoholic 👆
Having a seizure from withdrawal is not rock bottom, it’s just the beginning of the big black hole
It feels like they cheated on you when you find out they were lying about drinking
If you leave your alcoholic boyfriend he will find another girlfriend the same week to enable him. Woman are so desperate these day's.
They can have at it
He had a woman move him in her house after I broke up with him. She supports him paid off all his bills .
Love your courage speaking about this! And good for you for sticking up for yourself and finding your inner strength. Broke up with a guy I'd dated for a few months, largely because I suspected him of having a drinking problem or at least emotional instability. He drank every time I saw him -- at meals, throughout our dates. Often, when I left to go home at night, he'd have another drink (he told me he drank to help him sleep, despite the fact that alcohol actually causes sleep issues). The few times I mentioned my dislike of him drinking, he would quietly get put off. Lucky, we lived in separate places and met only 1-2 times a week. I think a part of me remained cautious since I refused to stay overnight most of those dates -- I must've sensed something wasn't quite right. He was very kind and thoughtful at first, but was very quiet so hard to read. As we grew more comfortable with each other, he started showing red flags like mood swings, irritability, and sudden, irrational bouts of anger over little things. During the break-up when I mentioned as kindly as possible that I didn't think we were compatible long-term, I witnessed that bad temper again. That rage really put me on edge, and I took the opportunity to leave before that fury could explode. No point in sticking around. Afterward, I felt sooo relieved, like I'd dodged a bullet! I was so happy to be free. I can't imagine what it would've been like to live with such a person, dealing with constant stress, mess, mood swings, and having to walk eggshells around them. No thanks!
Glad you are in a better place and mindset now 💖💖
thanks for sharing this. it's very courageous and helpful for all of us.
hey girly, we need another update
Absolutely! Working on one soon <3 :)
