Today, my ex sent me a pack of beer to screw with me. I'm still going to AA, and I thought I was almost over it. Five bottles later, I realized I'm not. We didn't break up over my drinking, either; it was because after just 2 weeks of dating, she threatened to kill herself if I didn't marry her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I caught my boyfriend trying to dispose of several empty alcohol bottles, leading to a discussion how dating me and putting up with my insanity has given him a drinking problem just so he can get through the day. Me catching him seemed to be the wake up call he needed, because he dumped me. FML
Today, I broke up with my long-term boyfriend, because his alcohol problem is so bad that he drank his way through an old bottle of Tequila, which belonged to my mum, and that I'd kept after she committed suicide. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML
Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML
Today, I called off my engagement with my now ex-girlfriend. Yesterday, while drunk at a get-together with all our friends, she admitted she's still in love with her best friend, and only went out with me to forget about him, but is still pining for him anyway. She doesn't understand why that factoid might upset me. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend from two years ago called and asked to come over. Still being in love with him, I agreed to see him but decided I wasn't drunk enough to handle the stress. After a while of drinking, he said that he really missed me and wanted to be with me. My reply consisted of throwing up. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I've been "spending too much time at the bar." I've been sober for 2 years. FML
Today, I met the guy my ex left me for. He's morbidly obese, has no personality, and got her drinking again, even though she has a problem. She says, "I've never been happier." Now everything I've done for my anxiety and depression has come undone, and I can't be convinced there isn't something horribly wrong with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text, right after I finished cleaning his apartment and dropping off a bunch of booze I bought for a big party we were having. It turns out that big party was his "newly single" party. FML

Well, it's a good thing that you're not in that relationship anymore. She sounds more toxic than alcoholism.

Relapse is just a part of recovery, but don't give up. And good for you for not giving into her very unstable behavior.

Empty threats are pretty pointless if people call your bluff...

That's a cold hearted thing. You'll get through it, just stay positive

I am so sorry for you. That really is an awful awful awful thing of her to do. I am so sorry. I pray for peace for you tonight and well done for staying sober so long. You can do it, to me it doesn't sound like alcoholism is anything you can really 'get over' (I might be wrong, it is just what I've heard) but you've done amazingly to get off the alcohol and stay away from temptation for so long - you can do it again. It sounds like it takes a few times for a lot of people - a few detoxes etc. but each sober period is so so important for you and your loved ones.

I went through something similar relationship-wise, know how trapping it is. Just try not to give a tiny rat's ass about anything she does, that'll help to deal with the bitch moves on her part. Once you start seeing her as nothing but the source of distress that she is, anything that comes from her will look the same to you. Stay strong, man, you can get through this, and it's okay if it takes more than one try, or even a few tries. Sounds like you're on the right path, just believe in yourself, that's really the main thing you've gotta do right now. Best of luck to you, buddy!

Dodged a bullet there, man. Congratulations on no longer being in a relationship with Certifiable Crazy.

There is so much about this that's really messed up. Continue to get the help you need, OP. While this might be a setback, you're still on the road to recovery which is something to be proud of. Hopefully with time this girl can get over what are obviously some really serious issues, but that's definitely not something that should be your problem.
