Just broke off a year & 1/2 off & on relationship with an alcoholic Thought I was going crazy! I can relate the first date I had with mine. I knew he was an alcoholic and he was out of control and I decided not to go out with him but a week later he hit me up and we started dating. I loved all the attention & loving ❤ that’s why I hung in there I get it. I’ve been with other alcoholics and it’s hard to leave because you love them. ❤ My situation got worse too with the verbal and emotional abuse -which he never displayed in the beginning the love bombing I can’t keep believing alcoholics when they tell me that they love me 💔 Thanks for sharing your story
How was this 13 years ago 😭 we're old 😂 Congratulations on your marriage Veronica!! You guys looked amazing. Big love and thanks for dragging me through some of the tough times back in the day with your vlogs ❤
Just finding this.. I’ve been dating a man for a year and realize he’s an alcoholic. He’s amazing when sober and only drinks on weekends, but it’s enough. He’s blackout drunk and gets verbally abusive. It’s very confusing and I’ve tried to figure out over the summer what was happening. He went MIA for two months with a scattering of seeing him here and there. I finally get it. I didn’t realize verbal/emotional comes from alcoholism or the behavior associated with it. It’s been a journey. I walked away but still searching for answers. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Veronica. Is there a way I could email you to discuss my story. I met a girl that was bruised all over her body from being abused as her and her partner we’re both alcoholics. She begged me for help and I spent 4 1/2 years trying to help her to health and sobriety. She destroyed me in the process! When they’re done with you they spit you out after they’re done using you! All the same cycle that you and your viewers have stated! I dedicated my life to helping her and got absolutely used and destroyed in the process!
Been there, done that. Never again. Alcoholics do not realize the damage and pain they cause their loved ones. Maybe one day she'll make amends, but I doubt it.
he ended up reaching out to me after a year and a half of not talking and harassed me/showed up to my home after i told him to leave me alone. had to get a restraining order lol. not sure where he is now.
Wow! Sounds so much like my story-just curious. Trying hard to stay no contact -it’s heartbreaking to continue to think they are capable of change. He’s such a kind man otherwise, but he’s tried repeatedly to stop and just can’t or won’t
The "love bombs" really hit me. I'm currently in a relationship with an alocoholic and the amount of affection and love you receive make you try to convince yourself that you'll just live for those moments. Even though you feel absolutely destroyed everytime he's on a huge bender. But I know this is not healthy. Thank you for your video <3
I’m dealing with the same thing and after 8 relapses I honestly am beyond caring. If she drinks herself to death then she drinks herself to death. I won’t deal with it anymore. It’s a sad thought, but I have just accepted it.
My sister is on her third alcoholic. Two died already from it. I think she likes the chaos and attention. Alcoholics and Drug Addicts r nothing but trouble..and if that's what ur looking for u will find it. I hope u choose wisely for yourself. This is for all u women out there going thru it. PS. thankx for ur video and sharing ur experiences.
I also left one of my best female friends. I loved her so much but she kept talking about her boyfriend how much great he is but he was a complete alcoholic and she kept this hope that one day he will become better but it didn't so when I confronted her then she hurt my feelings so I dumped her.
I just met a sweet, compassionate, educated man with a good job AND he is handsome but he’s an alcoholic. I wanted to try with him but now I see I cannot. I’m so angry with his alcoholism but not him. We both deserve love but I can’t risk it.
Same-- I still feel guilty for calling him out at the very start. Many times these addicts are charismatic, highly creative people-- they just have weak constitutions and usually love wounds. 😢
For anyone reading this- please don’t even start anything with them. I would recommend not even having alcoholic friends. I was friends with an alcoholic and I never considered him because I didn’t like his behaviors. But I loved him as a person and we were so close. We ended up dating and it was a disaster and heartbreaking when it ended. Stay far far away
You don’t need an explanation.. he did. That’s enough. Don’t look to people for closure. Give yourself closure. A lesson experience. It’s not a disease!! Diseases are not a choice. People choose to drink and not take control when they can feel their addiction. Calling it a disease released them from accountability.
Been with mine for a year and a half and it’s such a lonely journey. I feel so alone. I love him so much, he’s amazing and the best guy I’ve ever been with hands down. But his alcoholism has lead him to wreck MY car, say things that he didn’t really mean, and lied a lot. So many times I should’ve left but I didn’t. People like us see the good in everyone. Thank you for sharing, this makes me feel less alone in this.
Wow your story sounds similar to mine. The love bombing, moving quickly. And it goes on and on and on. Mine tried to hide it and red flags were everywhere but I didn't want to face it. Fell for the good times, and that was when he wasn't drinking . Thank you for sharing.
I ws wth an alcoholic fr 10years now...ws hoping everything vl b okay...bt when I completely understood our love ws not enough for him to make him think of quitting alcohol,I left him behind..it ws painful... Everyday when I hear abt him,it hurts...cz I still love him..bt when he s drink I hate him the most... I nly I have one thing to say ,DNt HV people chances again n again cz yu luv them! It vl make u regret like I do ...! I know this too,no-one ever can me feel the way he made... The way he loved me...we fell n love wth eachother when we were 15!
Thank you for your story. I am going through the same thing with my alcoholic boyfriend and it's true what you said that it needs to come from him to want to quit.
This is something that hit home. I watched the person I loved slip away due to alcohol and it was one of the most painful things I’ve ever gone through. It’s def true they are the ones that must ultimately decide when they are ready. I waited many years in a 10 year relationship and it never happened take it from her and my advice it only gets worse. It’s a progressive disease .. All I want for her is to be happy and healthy thats what true love is , and it really hurts when you couldn’t provide that for them so at some point you have to focus on yourself and leave , if they ever get to that point then you support them . In my case in didn’t happen I had to walk away and move on . I wish you guys best of luck
Thank you for sharing. I am in the process of healing from my break up. It sucks, I cried watching this video because there was so many things I was able to relate to and the fact that I’m not the only one made me feel some type of way. I’m glad you were able to get out of that. Sending you positive vibes 😊
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. I'm so sorry you're going through a rough time but I promise with time it'll get better! You deserve only the best
I tot I was alone, I feel like a failure, feel alone, don't hv any friends, most of the time I just want to sit alone in my room I don't wanna see ppl I'm a mess, I'm working a well paying job bt still the feelings don't go away
I left my alcoholic partner for the hope that he will change but found out he have someone new. It hurts so much but thank you for this. I no longer feel alone.
