That answer was flippant and I apologize.

I think 'put it on a bumper sticker' is the best policy.
Alcoholics in our disease just can't HEAR more than a few words at a time.

Short Sweet but FINAL.

"I want something altogether different in life."
Whatever you come up with along those lines.

Honesty is great:

"I'm not happy and I don't want to be in a relationship with you."
Ba ZINGGG

If you don't WANT to mention the alcoholism then don't.

But I truly wouldn't wait until wednesday.

That's too much buildup.
Too long to make it much more than what it realoy is in our heads.

Just make a call and say however you want to word it.

You have the right to stop seeing someone without a lot of explanation.


I truly hope this is the only time for you.
