Today, my ex sent me a pack of beer to screw with me. I'm still going to AA, and I thought I was almost over it. Five bottles later, I realized I'm not. We didn't break up over my drinking, either; it was because after just 2 weeks of dating, she threatened to kill herself if I didn't marry her. FML

wow, your ex is a psycho... stay strong OP. You can do it!

Well, it's a good thing that you're not in that relationship anymore. She sounds more toxic than alcoholism.

Relapse is just a part of recovery, but don't give up. And good for you for not giving into her very unstable behavior.

Empty threats are pretty pointless if people call your bluff...

That's a cold hearted thing. You'll get through it, just stay positive

I am so sorry for you. That really is an awful awful awful thing of her to do. I am so sorry. I pray for peace for you tonight and well done for staying sober so long. You can do it, to me it doesn't sound like alcoholism is anything you can really 'get over' (I might be wrong, it is just what I've heard) but you've done amazingly to get off the alcohol and stay away from temptation for so long - you can do it again. It sounds like it takes a few times for a lot of people - a few detoxes etc. but each sober period is so so important for you and your loved ones.

I went through something similar relationship-wise, know how trapping it is. Just try not to give a tiny rat's ass about anything she does, that'll help to deal with the bitch moves on her part. Once you start seeing her as nothing but the source of distress that she is, anything that comes from her will look the same to you. Stay strong, man, you can get through this, and it's okay if it takes more than one try, or even a few tries. Sounds like you're on the right path, just believe in yourself, that's really the main thing you've gotta do right now. Best of luck to you, buddy!

Dodged a bullet there, man. Congratulations on no longer being in a relationship with Certifiable Crazy.

There is so much about this that's really messed up. Continue to get the help you need, OP. While this might be a setback, you're still on the road to recovery which is something to be proud of. Hopefully with time this girl can get over what are obviously some really serious issues, but that's definitely not something that should be your problem.
