End game,
I just read this relay of posts and would like to thank you for the NYTimes post ! Also thanks to all who have posted their woes with the alcohol and/or bipolar issue.
How personally accurate to me as a Bipolar person. Helpful to me as a reminder that much of the awful experiences, both high and low, are not mine exclusively !
I will post again as my thoughts become more clear as to where I could help and with what I need help ! I am 3 weeks sober, with the beginnings of a depressive faze, or just "paws"...time will tell. But I'll be back.

Hi Isiah5914,
Just reading over some of the postings again... Boy you have no idea how badly I wish you to spend some time with my SOP!!! He is on the edge of letting go of alcohol... I wish you could tell him your story and share the strength it took of STOP DRINKING...

Learned my lesson
I have been in a relationship with a bipolar alcoholic for 4 1/2 years and it's been quite an emotional ride. He is a binger and goes on drinking binges for weeks at a time and gets off his meds. Says he's going to quit every time he is recovering/withdrawing, he goes to his AA meetings, goes to counseling, gets a job, saves money, then he starts all over again. i have finally told him to move out and now I am feeling angry with myself for allowing him to manipulate me for so long. I miss him, but know things will not get better unless he gets help for himself and not for me or anyone else. I feel he is going to die, as he often drinks while wondering the streets for alcohol. No telling what inappropriate things he is doing while he is out there. A friend of mine told me to run and not look back because most bipolar alcoholics don't get better. Is this really the case?
Thank you
Thank you

I got better.
Not saying that you shouldn't run.
We are all different.
Where did your friend get her/his information?
