My exabf had decided he was going to quit drinking. I was ecstatic that he was going to make the change.
However, he really just wanted to prove to himself he could do it for a month. He complained, was miserable and more obnoxious than ever before. As the end of the month came around he tells me he needed to get a bottle of champagne to celebrate his not drinking. SMH
Not much you can say to that. You just realize at that moment they think it's a game they can play for a short amount of time to prove to themselves that 1 - they don't have a problem and 2 - that they just proved you wrong for believing they are an alcoholic.
Talk about denial.
