I texted him today and said I'm done fighting. I'm done crying. I am just going to live my life. I said that he will make his own choices. I'm done trying to change things I have no control over. It's taken a toll on me.
The choice is his. I don't have to stay with him. He says he's making an effort to change, but only time will tell. I keep on telling myself that I can walk away at any time. I don't have to be with an alcoholic. It gives me strength. I was able to live without him before I met him, and I'm able to live without him now. I'm an independent woman who is able to support herself. If he chooses alcohol over me, then what choice do I really have?
Everybody on this site has been very helpful. I feel like I'm in the first steps of breaking the cycle.
