I never knew when he would throw a punch or a slap. I kept trying to get the old times back again. I begged. I pleaded. I tried to control him. I tried to control me. I broke up with that boyfriend and sometimes I think "aw, he was okay. He wasn't that bad" and then I shake my head and say "nope. He worked for awhile but he don't work no more".
He was my best friend. He will kill me if I go back to him.
Oh my goodness. I've heard so many good answers to this question/metaphors for alcoholism... but what you just said here soberinwpg, really hits home with me... it's so true. I feel the same, 100%... nice way of putting it.. (if there is a nice way of putting it)....... Thanks for that.
