Depressed Drinking Boyfriend
Posted: 05-02-06 21:14pm

Lie cheat and steal as they would say. I swear I can stop crying over this. My boyfriend left me awhile ago to get help with his drinking. Tonight I called him to see how he was. It's been two months, and we have been talking. He told me he was great and stopped drinking. I talked to him earlier today, and he was crying and said. I said whatever you do don't drink. He was suppose to come here today to see my new house. But he said he was too depressed to. Then later on I called, and he was so mean to me and drunk. He told me that he wanted to shoot himself in the head. Then I decided to call him back later I talked to his roommate and his roomy said that he drinks everyday. I am so sad. I don't know what to do. I am not ready to let go. I love this guy too much. Help

The only thing I can say is just remember that there is only so much you can do. I had an alcoholic boyfriend once too. I loved him alot. I did my best to be supportive and tried many time to get him to quit. No matter what I did he always went back to drinking. While I knew quitting was very hard for him I realized there was only so many things I could do or say to motivate him. I don't feel bad about leaving him because I know I did everything I could to help.

I'm not saying you should give up on him. Just know when to say enough is enough and don't let him be abusive to you even if its just on the phone.
