At the moment , I would love to drive to the bottle shop .
It is my coping mechanism
It has been for 28 years
Why would a girl leave me , when I cooked dinner, placed candles, made sure she was fine, put her favourite music on , (mozart mass in c minor), listened to her stuff about how hard work was for her, made her a coffee,
all the stuff nice decent sober men do.
Why the **** would she terminate our relationship because I am NOT drinking.
?????
This is the most perplexing thing I have had to deal with .
What???
I have to start again ???

I want to buy booze.
IM not going to .
Im going to have a hot shower, try to realise that this is not my stuff , and .
Sleep
Thanks to all my friends on SR who have helped me . This is awful
****.
I need to look after myself
I will do that
Strength is something I dont have.
I just dont want to drink anymore.
Kind regards
thanks all of you for reading

She is suddenly bored. she was used to and knew the old you. The drinking you she knew how to deal with. The sober you she feels like she doesn't know you. Or it could be she's one of those women that love drama and the control of having something to hang over your head. When you took away that guilt driven subbmission to her , you took away her power..... ( just a possibility )
Either way , I'm sorry man. Very similar thing happened to me this past week but I've got less than 3 weeks sobriety and it happened the first weekend I saw her and was out of rehab. You'll see my post in here somewhere under alcoholism or new comers.
