Welcome to Sober Recovery. I am glad you found us, but sorry for the reason.

Here you will find some really great ES&H (Experience, Strength and Hope) from folks who have been where you are or are where you are now.

First, regarding the current events. I would suggest you go to your nearest police station, talk to the desk sergeant, tell them a brief synopsis and that you ARE ON THE LEASE and ask for Police Assistance to retrieve your belongings.

Police deal with this sort of thing all the time and will be more than happy to assist you. If, and that is a real big IF she did file a FALSE POLICE REPORT, you can probably clear that up quickly with your calm sane manner and a brief synopsis of what has been going on. I actually doubt if she filed a report at all, but was just 'flapping' her lips as inebriated alkies are prone to do.

I speak from experience, both sides of the fence, I am in recovery and have been clean and sober over 29 years and have been a participating member of Al-anon for over 26 years.

Do not attempt to get your possessions, without a police escort. Do not attempt to confront her without witnessess. You will not know if she is sober, hung over, or still on a binge.

Now is when you 'take care of you.' Having a practicing alcoholic in your life can be 'hell' as most of us on here know.

I am glad to see that you are availing yourself of Al-Anon, your meetings will be a big help and great source of strength for you!

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing as we do care very much.

Love and hugs,
