I was just on phone to my boyfriend and im even more convinced now that he wants to break up with me, and im so upset. i was lying in bed trying to sleep and not cry and not get up to have a drink which i know would help me sleep so i got out of bed and came on here instead. Im so sad and i wont see him till Friday so have to wait till then to see how things are. part of me wants to just ring him and tell him how upset I am and worried but I know guys hate that kind of thing and the best i can do is sit tight and hope its all in my head but i am so so tempted to go have a drink and ive been doing so well up to now, so... like I said, i came on here instead.

Holdon Keenan,

Do not take that drink...Nothing is worth falling to your addiction..You may not get a chance to come back..

I know your pain and how love can rip your heart out...

Keep posting, the urge will pass...

YOU can do this..Believe in you.. You are worth living a good life..

Thinking of you..

Good choice to come here instead of drinking. Remember, there's nothing so bad that alcohol can't make it worse. Don't pick up, no matter what. I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy right now, but stick with us here and don't drink!:ghug3

Glad you came here instead. Maybe it's too much to try to maintain a difficult relationship and get sober at the same time...? I know thats not what you want to hear, but this has to be ALL about you. There are much more difficult challenges in life than stubborn or jerky boyfriends.. build a solid foundation and plan for life, so you can get through the tough stuff!

Stay here, and maybe jump into chat, talk live with people, read old posts, read our stories and our triumphs. Get some strength from us.. find hope here.

Hang in there, I wasn't able to quit until I wanted to be sober more than I wanted a drink, and it took me a long time to get there. Are you ready?

oh, and if you have liquor in the house (made me think of it when you said you almost got up to have a drink), pour it out!!

thanks guys. i wont take that drink, because i know i will feel a whole lot worse in the morning if i do, but so proud of myself if i dont. i just hurt, and am scared re; my boyfriend and i just want to ring him and have him tell me everything is ok, but as i said, I know guys hate that. I just have to hold out till friday and i guess i will know when we are together how things are, its almost 2wks since ive seen him

Great for not picking up!!!

Your own happiness comes from yourself, not from someone else.

A few weeks ago, I posted a question on whether I should still keep booze in the house:

Listen to Flutter's advice! If, as you indicated in your post, that you are inclined to take a drink due to emotional stress and have alcohol available in the house, I think the obvious thing to do - if you are trying to remain sober - would be to get rid of the booze.
