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
Collection
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

You can't just "get over" alcoholism. Keep going to the meetings, be surrounded by people who love you, and you'll do great :)

Clever title name, OP. Hope you feel better soon, stay strong!

She is a psycho bitch that thrives on attention. In your position with trying to clean yourself up, you need to separate yourself from someone who can't take that seriously. Leave her dumbass. It's only been a couple weeks and I'll bet anything she will NOT kill herself.

I read this wrong and can't delete my comment...or explain myself with a reply to my own comment. Fml.

Wow. Be glad you ditched that crazy bitch. And huge congrats on AA!!! too many people are in denial about being alcoholics, sounds like you are on the right track. Best of luck staying dry from here on out! BTW, next time, you can send her a bunch of chocolates. Have them delivered. Then the next day, send a text asking how fat she is now. ;-) If you want to spend more money, signing her up for some fashion magazines and giving her a promotional card for a free visit to a gym are also great ideas. A book on social skills, preferably with a title like "How not to sound like an idiot" is another good idea for a present. Chances are excellent that she's hyper-concerned with appearance and what others think, that's fairly normal with psycho bitches. Even if she is pretty and skinny and seems very personable and has good skin, a few comments and "gifts" can make her think otherwise. It shouldn't take much effort on your part to screw with her and teach her that being a bitch to others can rebound and rebound BADLY. And the next guy, she might think twice about doing something destructive!!! It's like burning your hand and learning not to grab a pan barehanded. Make it nasty enough and over a long enough period of time and she'll not only leave you alone, she may learn not to be an evil ****. :)

His ex did this because she wants his attention so badly she's willing to try to drag him down into alcoholism. Opening contact again with her even just for "revenge" is going to tell her that if she does something terrible enough, she can get a reaction from him and get back into being a part of his life. Which doesn't seem like something any normal person would find appealing, but OP's ex isn't a normal person. The best thing anyone can do with someone like that is refuse to engage and stay as far, far away from them as possible.

Having dealt with a situation similar to this (but NOT the alcoholic-sort, just the evil-sort doing anything for attention) you have to burn them, badly. They'll stalk and cause problems for months unless you really, really, really make it a painful experience for them. I was the very last person the guy in question did this to. After being told nicely, then firmly, then angrily, to knock it off... I got evil. And he learned that actions have consequences, sometimes really severe ones. I likely saved a lot of people a lot of grief just by taking off the kid gloves and giving back BETTER than I got, and almost 20 years later I have zero regrets...except that I did not do so sooner.

What did you do? I bet everyone is curious about your revenge-story :)

Honestly I'd send the bitch a rope and tell her to find a chair to screw with her back.

Sorry to hear about your relapse OP, but glad you are alive to tell on yourself. Relapse is NOT a part of recovery, but it happens in recovery. I myself relapsed back in January and it was like a ******* 2x4 to my face in many ways. I hope you got yourself to a meeting, and did what it is that needs to be done. Hang in, and feel free to send me a pm if you want.
