Day 7 AF and I just got up the nerve to break it off with a man I have seeing for over a year. I can honestly say that I hardly knew this man sober and when I was sober I really didn't like him all that much or have all that much in common with him. Now that I've been sober almost 7 full days it's become painfully obvious that in my drunken stupor I could have just been talking to and sleeping with anyone - just a warm body. The relationship was completely void of any substance. (Mind you I only saw him every other weekend when my son was with his dad, it wasn't a very steady relationship anyway). There was nothing wrong with him; he was a gentleman and a nice enough man. It's hard for me to believe he didn't get how drunk I was all the time I was with him - or maybe he knew and just didn't care. In any case, it's a clean break and a new life. Hopefully just one more of many healthy changes to come.

Just Broke it Off
It's nice to hear that he was a gentleman and not contributing to your drinking. But if he wasn't right for you then a clean break was certainly warranted. For his sake too! Taking a break from relationships and focusing on yourself might be a good idea. I know nothing about you and don't want to come off that way but I'm thinking that for myself, I need to redefine who I am now that I'm not drinking. A lot has changed and I am changing too. And it's all good! -

Yes, that's a really good way of putting it: "redefining who I am now that I am not drinking." It just feels like everything has changed.Comment
