Dear Jaguar,
this is a really helpful thread, thankyou for starting it! Your story is very similar to mine!
On/off with alc boyfriend for 8 years...been through so many "no contacts"..cant believe we are still seeing each other. When we break up it gives him free riegn to drink and indulge freely in his other pastime of online porn. He has that "x-factor" for me..emotionally dependent on him..scared i'll never meet anyone else..end up a lonely mid-life woman.
He has alc neuropathy now, gave up for 28 days said his walking did not improve so back to the whisky bottle. He is an isolater..we never go anywhere except club for cheap meal twice in 3 months since latest reunion..all he does is work, complain how tired he is and watch reruns on DVD'S..so deadly boring. If I give him another stop drinking ultimatum he will just go back to his "fall-back" girl..then i get sick with jealousy. How do I stop this painful cycle? I love and care for him..very painful watching his health deterioate.
I used to drink with him but have stopped for nearly 90 days..hate the smell of whisky and cigarettes.
