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 ...

    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

    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. 😢

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

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 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🥰

    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 🙏🏼💕

    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.

    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!
