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

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.

She's a shitty and manipulative person, clearly, and you're better off without her. Best of luck in your recovery, and I hope you find a lady who treats you right.

Clicking the "Your life sucks" button really does not do this FML justice. OP, everyone stumbles once in a while. Talk to your sponsor and let him know what happened. You can still move past this. As for your ex... You need to take drastic action. Report her to authorities for suicidal ideation, or move so she doesn't know where you live anymore, or both. You don't need to have that added stress in your life. Good luck.

Well, it's a good thing you didn't marry her or you might've had to go buy yourself another pack...

As a fellow member of AA as well, I'm so sorry that happened OP. Don't let someone as toxic as her ruin your life and happiness. I know it's hard to resist, and you're probably beating yourself up for drinking, but we all make mistakes and you are so strong for being sober that long. So fight through it and stay strong! Wish you the best of luck. By the way, if she's threatening you with suicide, in most states you can get her hospitalized, at least for a few days. That might shut her up.

My grandpa has been sober for almost 35 years and he says to this day there's never a day that he hasn't wanted to drink, just easier to say no on good days. There's never really any being over alcoholism. That being said, what she did was extra messed up to me because of that. It really sucks that someone that unhinged came into your life and ruined your sobriety.
