I'm hurting. I had to end my relationship with my partner whom I love dearly because alcohol has ruined everything. She refuses to get help with me. So I'm officially starting my journey on my own. I can heal from a broken heart but I can't heal what alcohol does. I'm finally going to get the help that I've been begging for. I'm leaving that life behind. Moving back with my family and getting the right help I need. Lord help me.

The fact that you are walking away to save yourself is the ultimate form of self love.
I’m looking at a similar situation… my relationship with alcohol has become very unhealthy yet my partner says that they will not alter their alcohol consumption around me cause they’re not the one with the problem.
It sucks

I can honestly say that we only have issues when we drink. Sober its a great time and she's amazing in every way. We thrive sober and do everything right without a problem.... Alcohol won her over though... Breaks me to pieces but I can't help someone who doesn't want it and it's dragging me down with it. Ive done everything I could do to live a sober life with her as my partner but its time to walk away. I keep falling into it because of it. Body, mind, soul want help and that's what I'm gonna do.

At the end of the day, you got to save yourself. I was amazed at how the people around me were so unsupportive in my journey. But I found this site and people who I can relate to and they can relate to me. We can do this together, which makes a big difference! God Bless

I know how badly this sucks - I had to walk away from a 13 year marriage and he was “the one” - but he couldn’t/wouldn’t quit and my body was giving up - sending you a virtual hug - there is always hope

I’m so extremely proud of you for making that decision. It’s one of the hardest things to do but it’s so necessary. It’s hard to get clean in the same place that made you sick. That’s not to say that this is where it first started, but speaking on those previous times you tried to stop and her drinking brought you back in. Sometimes you do have to prioritize yourself in order to have any good in this life and you never know who you may meet along the way who have similar priorities to the life you’re trying to build now.
