No its not me.

Its my boyfriend

I knew he had a problem, so I kept picking at him, but hes very stuborn so I could only pick so far. I then started telling him how I feared he was going to turn into his father & I was going to end up like his mother, alone & hurt.

Well that worked. Saddly hes drunk right now, but he realized what he had done. He skipped work to drink So he popped onto MSN (I'm at work) & told me everything. Hes been drinking in the mornings when I wasn't around & he called in sick last week ... I know hes going to loose this job.

He asked me for help & I said I'm taking him to an AA meeting tomorrow night (its a block from my house, every Tuesday at 8:30pm) & tonight I'm bringing him to the clinic..

CRAP gonna miss my bus, will post more

He's on the right road to recovery - has admitted he has a problem which is the biggest step to take. Good luck to you both

Jess - I would guess you had expectations of how he would react at the meeting.

HOPE is one thing - EXPECTATIONS can be killers. We all do it - have a little script of expectations in our minds. "He/She/They should..."

You can carry the message but not the body. He knows what he has to do.

Get yourself to Al-Anon; you can't have him and his situation renting space in your head. And you'll be better help to him and others if you get support for YOURSELF.

I'm giving up.

I don't want to go into details here, but tonight is more then likely gonna be the end. I'm already talking to someone & they do agree with me & I have 2 friends who also agree. I know you guys have no idea whats going on, but I'm not in the mood to type it out in public.

god I feel like crap, but I come first.

Jess, I am glad you are thinking of yourself. You just got out of a traumatic experience with Rob, this seems like it is going too fast. I don't mean to butt in but I think you should have some fun and go slow.

As in screw the dating world? Way ahead of ya.. I've already given up on that & I'm sick of this BS.. Mr. Right will just have to bump into me one of these days, as I ain't looking for him anymore!

Being single was kinda fun anyways. I also have a friend here in the city now, so its not nearly as bad. Sure it take me 2hrs to bus to her house *brain go off & brain dead drooling begins* but hey, I have a friend!
