Divorcing Alcohol
I compare my relationship with alcohol like a bad marriage. It's a losing battle, the other one is never going to change. But I kept thinking I can make it better, until I went on a huge bender (equal to a domestic fight).All the hoping in the world can't fix things.The same troubles keep repeating because of my relationship with Alcohol.In the end there was only one thing I could do,sever all ties to my former best friend-alcohol.But I can't say I miss you.I have nothing but horrible memories of you,you made me look foolish,you stole my money & if I had stayed with you,you would have killed me!I wish I'd never met you alcohol,but I suppose you'll find another guy to sink your claws into.You'll use your sneaky ways to trick your powers into another human being.So I'm done with you,leave me alone.I have a wonderful family,there is nothing good that you add into my life.Don't come calling when I have a bad day 'cause I'm going to tell someone you're tempting me.It might be my sister or SR but I'm going to talk to someone!Goodbye alcohol,we are done,over,kaput,finished!

It's a really accurate analogy.
Few days ago I was having a difficult day, alcohol thoughts rambling all over the place, I was starting to feel really tired of it but then I heard Gloria Gaynor singing "I will survive" on the radio. Picked myself right up. Alcohol is like a toxic lover to many of us.

Your post reminded me of this song, headcase.
it's a great song to turn up loud and sing to alcohol and your AV.

Yup, promises-promises.....Congrats on kicking alcohol to the curb. Starve her by calling everything she says BS (it is...always). She will find another (already has more than one if you look at this site). This forum may help you. It did me immensely.Secular Connections - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information. Check out "AVRT explained" and see what you think. It's a fairly short read but worth it.

Seems like a good analogy. Something I consider,though is with the breakups I've initiated.
Just because I was done didnt mean they were.
But with vigilance and persistence, they got the point and left me alone.
