Carver

Hey all,

So today my gf of eleven years told me she didn't want to be with me anymore. It's a long story but basically she made me move out, and my only option was to go and stay at my mum's house 200 miles away from my daughter. Anyway, pretty quickly after that she decided that she couldn't live without me, so said I could come back. Said she'd come collect me, but all of a sudden there's a problem with the car, but don't bother getting the train back, it'll be sorted in a couple of days. Couple of days later, same problem, but just hang on it'll be sorted by the weekend. So on and so on. For the best part of 5 months (I know, I'm gullible). So today I got pissed off and say "What's going on?", and she finally says she wants to be alone.

That's fair enough, I was a pain to live with (as was she)But to keep stringing me along? I haven't seen my daughter for 5 months. I quit my job, got no money. She's Satan.

So I had two beers. Tasted awful, my brain feels awful, etc. That's not the answer. Thankfully, I have no urge to continue drinking. Me and alcohol are definitely done. I poured the rest away. Just wanted to let you all know.

172 days, 2 beers.

I'm sorry for your situation, Carver, but yeah booze is not the answer.

Hope you can work out something amicably so you can have access to your daughter.

Good that you poured it out.

No situation ever made better by drinking.

There is nothing that can't be made worse by drinking. I hope you can find sobriety soon.

Glad you poured the beers out!

Straightup

I disagree with this statement but know what you mean. Drinking is not the answer.

Hi Carver ... you did the right thing by pouring it out and posting here. A big disappointment like that with your gf is a challenge, for sure ... but you do have the strength to get through it sober.

Carver

Thanks everyone,

Yeah I've got no urge or intention of doing that again. It just seemed to be the default reaction.

Even those two measly beers were horrible. She's gonna bring my daughter to visit on Christmas Eve so that's good, as long as that's not another lie.

No more drinking for me 👍

Good for you for pouring out the rest. I am so sorry for what is going on. I hope you will have a nice Christmas Eve with your daughter.

That's a bummer carver. Xx
But good job on stopping...
Hang in there

Carver

I got really lucky because I didn't enjoy it at all. It's like my taste buds have gone back to those of a child - beer doesn't taste good.

A moment of stupidity that I won't repeat.

I don't know why so many people feel that if you're not a falling down drunk bum on a street corner or you don't black out every night you might not have that big of a problem with alcohol. If alcohol is causing you problems in life it's a problem. If you're drinking more than 1 or 2 at a time you're not a normal drinker. It may not be wrecking your life right now, but that's going to catch up with you. I was what people would call a high bottom. I was surviving life. But I wasn't living life. I don't want to just survive anymore.

JD

Sorry about this. I was responding to a different post.
