Called the police

For any that remember, I have been struggling over the past two years with a man I knew in high school as a close friend; we became involved but he has a serious drinking problem. We had all the problems that go along with it. I spent an entire week calling the police daily, no results. He went to the bar today, came home, then when I was in the shower, disappeared. Called him and he said he was going to get a beer, did I have a problem with that. I said yes, that the condition of him moving back in was no alcohol. It had not even been a week. Told him he had to make his decision between the alcohol and me and he hung up. Couple hours later he came back and wanted to come inside. I told him no, told him to leave. I called the police. Long story short, 3:00 this morning they knocked on my door and handed me my car keys. He had pulled into the driveway at the end of my property and passed out. They arrested him there. They are going to try to get him to the town where he has a warrant. If they won't take him, they are dropping him off in a town about 20 miles away so he won't be back, at least tonight. I have all car keys now. This is draining and it's hard to not just say I'm sorry, I'll give you one more chance. No can do.

It is tough, but you are being strong and sticking to what you know is the right thing to do. I am sorry you have to go through this.

You did the right thing, Cantstopcrying. Your security and safety are top priorities.

(((((((((((((Cantstopcrying))))))))))))). You did the right thing, and you can do this I know you can. Your saftey comes first, and you deserve better than someone that is going to treat you like that. Sending you my support and care. Best wishes, Typo

stay strong,,2 years was enough for you to put in,,you deserve respect and love

I want to commend you on your decision and your self respect. I really do know how hard it is to live with an alcoholic and I have battled through my own situation with regard to getting free from one I was married to for too many years. I really hope he doesn't get back and I think you should take the time to care for yourself and allow yourself to really get over the issues alcoholism creates for the sober partner. I wish you the very best

Greetings,

Hang in there and do your best to positively cooperate with authorities, such as the police. Most importantly be patient and don't let go of hope.

Have a good one.

you did the best thing you could do, csc.until he chooses to get help he will continue to spiral down. your not enabling him was a wise choice. i'm in recovery 20 years. have learned that many of us take ppl as hostages. sorry this ended up with no fruit but we can hope he will get help. it's out there but he has to want to change.
i saw your mood. try not to be nervous. you can be happy, joyous and free!
