Hi. I've been on this forum for many years. Very few of my stories have been positive, many have been no doubt difficult to read.
Today, when my fiance (partner of over 12 years), comes home from work I'm offering to give her my legal half of possession of our house as I plan to file for bankruptcy in the months to come and I don't want to screw her over. I'm not sure if my creditors would come after the house or not after she has sole possession. I'm hoping not.
I'm sober as I write this.
My alcoholism has been a slow burn of my life. No DUI's, never got drunk and hit my fiance, etc. Instead it's been damage to my liver and my body and the constant fear of dying that way (3 weeks in the hospital in April this year for alcohol related complications). Slowly ruined financially. I always found a way to support my alcohol addiction one way or another. If I'm classified as a high functioning alcoholic, I'm a stupid one financially. Everything I've worked for is about to be flushed down the drain but I don't want to hurt my loved ones by having them bear the burdens of my financial incompetency fueled by my addiction to alcohol. I'm 36
Staying sober for when my fiance comes home in a couple of hours to break this news to her. I owe her at least that much.
Thanks for listening

Day #3. In-house detox is visiting Monday. Got note to be off work for a few days. The aftermath of everything I revealed to my family and partner is sinking in and they are trying to figure out damage control (and least in the short term). Terrified today. Got a prescription for Librium and it seems to be doing nothing to help with my anxiety & withdrawal symptoms this time around. Wishing everyone else a great weekend. Thanx....
