Love, Work, Transportation, Alcohol, Drunk and Addiction: Out of control

Out of control

By Anonymous - 14/07/2023 12:00

Today, I had to take my alcoholic wife's e-bike away from her that I just got two months ago when she was sober and starting a new job. With in one week she was buying vodka and getting drunk again. When I went home for lunch, I found she tried to cut the chain I put around it with a circular saw used for wood. FML.

Today, I came home to my wife who was drunk and sobbing. I’d left her alone with my kids from my first marriage along with ours and I guess they acted up so bad they made her break her sobriety. FML

Can't stop, won't stop

Today, I found out that my wife, who is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic, drank an entire bottle of wine and then tried to hide it at the bottom of a garbage bin. To make matters worse, when I confronted her about it, she tried to convince me that our 5-year-old daughter had drunk it. FML

It's political correctness gone mad!

Today, my wife threatened to leave me for "bodyshaming" our daughter by giving her a bicycle for her birthday. I bought her a bike because she's been asking for one for months. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Receipe ideas

Today, after I was surprised by my husband announcing he was coming off the drink and going to the gym to get in shape, I found out that I've been such a fool, as it turns out the pre-workout shakes he kept making contained about 5 shots of vodka, so he could drink at home without me moaning. FML

On yer bike

By E-fail - 07/10/2020 08:53 - Canada - Bathurst

Today, I received my new e-bike. I could barely afford it but I desperately needed a method of transportation. On my second ride, I splashed through a fresh sidewalk. There was sidewalk in the chain, in the brakes, everywhere. There goes my brand new bike. FML

Today, I was on my way to work when my ex-wife drove past me in the car she got from me. She fucked me over so hard in the divorce that I have to ride my bike to work while wearing a full suit. FML

Today, I found my bike that was stolen a week ago in front of someone's house. Now this wouldn't have been a problem if my husband didn't steal it to go meet with his girlfriend. FML

Sometimes you need to protect yourself and just let someone else hit rock bottom without you. I’m very sorry you’re in this situation, and I wish you the best.

Why not get her to a rehab? Folks dealing with addiction usually don't react well to being treated like a child, let the professionals handle it.

I wonder if she's stupid enough to try that while sober. Doing this will damage everything but the chain: the saw, the bike and the alcoholic.

wouldn't exercise help combat addiction? wouldn't bring controlling help fuel her desire to control her own life? like I don't know all the details but how is that helping her?

You forgot one crucial detail; it's a e-bike, meaning that the amount of exercise she would get is as much as what I get from drinking my daily cup of instant coffee. Plus, have you ever seen a drunk ride a bike? I did, and I am glad the drunk and the parked car survived the crash.
