Sweetichick, I'd suggest that you make a decision to stop listening to the melodrama that your AV is spinning for you.

1) Read back your old posts - you have never relapsed yet and been happy about it / said it was positive for you. This time would not be either.

2) You don't need anyone to respond about leaving them a car - for a start off, unless you're expecting an imminent end to your life, it's likely to be a wreck by the time you pop your clogs. And for another thing you can just write your will, bequeath what you want to them and they'll get it when the time comes. Regardless of whether they get back to you now.

3) If you continue to **** your life away there will be nothing t leave them anyway, and likelihood is, if all they've seen are relapses, why would they be getting excited about it.

4) If you want to make THEM happy, pour the poison away, stay sober, and get yourself to a meeting so you can learn how to live life sober n a way that is comfortable and sustainable.

5) If you want to make YOURSELF happy, pour the poison away, stay sober, and get yourself to a meeting so you can learn how to live life sober n a way that is comfortable and sustainable.

6) has your neighbour acted like this before? If so, why do expect him to be any different now? Maybe look at your expectations of him - adjust those. (You can't adjust HIM).

7) You are quick to list all the problems - your kids, your will, your neighbour, your car repayments, etc. They in themselves are beyond your control. But the REAL problem - the thing that makes all those actions and relationships so complicated is your drinking. And you have the choice right now to continue living in the problem but starting another binge / relapse, or to tip that wine away and continue working on your sobriety and recovery. With sobriety and recovery you will be far more able to manage those other things, in time! It is no quick fix - because there really ARE no quick fixes.

Praying you'll stop this insanity and step out of the vortex SC.
