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.

That raises all the bright red flags of an abusive relationship with her being the abuser. Get out now, OP. Seriously.

Sorry to say that but for me one need to be an idiot to became an alcoholic. I probably am a little paranoid but i even have mental blockade when i drink. At some point it just wont go down or i'm even unable to open my mouth. I never ever had hangover nor needed help to go back home after drinking. I just don't want to become an addict of any sort.

But the point is, now he IS an alcoholic, he is actually trying to fight it and she is not only messing with him, she is actively trying to destroy his life. And don`t be so arrogant. I don`t like alcohol as well, I barely drink, but in that way I am just lucky, since alcohol just never was my thing. Others can drink hughe amounts of alcohol frequently and don`t become an alcoholic, but some others do. And we all now that western society has a culture, not to say a cult around alcohol and it is very difficult to avoid it. In this society it is actually very easy to become an alcoholic.

I know that he is alcoholic and he is trying to get out of it. I can read, but i don't care. For me you need to be an idiot to don't realize that something is wrong and just go deeper in it. You pass out after drinking too much? You don't drink it. You see how acid works on people? You don't take it. You see how cigarettes destroy human body? You don't smoke it. You need to be an idiot to do it. "but society..." who gives a damn about what society want you to do. Something is bad for you? You don't do it. You want me to feel sorry for you? You came to wrong address. I'm unable to feel anything other than anger. I do express other emotions but i can't feel them. So yea... "arrogant".

I'm so sorry that happened to you, OP. Though I'm not an alcoholic, I have struggled with addiction and relapse was devastating for me. Stay strong!

Wow OP, that was a really really sh!t thing for her to do. All the best with your recovery, at least now you know she wasn't 'the one' that got away.
