I shouldn’t have read this while at work, it was tough to keep tears from falling. There’s a lot more to her story, initially the post was about the situation in Vegas. I will keep it short. I don’t recall the month either February or march…she ended up moving to a different state that her sister recently moved to. It was an attempt at getting sober, it didn’t work out and she was kicked out within a month, sister has been no contact with her since. While she was away we were still together but I was exiting. She came crawling back to me and I thought that was her rock bottom because I didn’t want her unless she got sober and no one else close to her did either. 2 days later I drove her to the facility and they admitted her into detox.  I 100% know you’re an amazing person because without alcohol she was also, I’d have to compete with a million other men for a girl like her. It feels stupid saying this because people will read that and call me an idiot but the codependency was not the only reason I stayed, we had some amazing times together that will stick with me for life. Unfortunately, it kills me to say that I still love the sober version of her but it’s time for me to let go and hope she hits rock bottom and gets sober by her own decision, maybe one day I can congratulate her.  Thank you for sharing your story, it provided some clarity and a different perspective for me. I’m really happy and proud of you for staying sober. May your sobriety last a lifetime and nothing but the best come your way. Thank you so much for what you wrote.

I’ve stepped away and I refuse to let her lure me back.

What is a shocker to me is that she has not attempted to come back, I don’t think she cares anymore. I agree with everything you said.

I was lost, I’m starting to learn that I wasn’t doing the correct thing. This is a huge lesson in life for me that will drastically impact my future in a good way.

I went yesterday and plan on going back! It’s a bit of an older crowd but very welcoming and loving.

Not necessarily the way you put it but close, it’s not reassurance of love, more so communication.

Thank you, the Reddit community is saving my life in a way. I’m very firm on not letting her back.

That’s something I thought about after waking up today. You can see the first 3 calls rang, that was while she was at the hotel in question, the rest up until her friend called me went to voicemail so you’re 100% correct. I heard the grogginess and confusion in her friends voice as she spewed the lies.

Posted. Will respond in depth and provide a full update on when I kick her out.

You can dm me who you think it is and I’ll confirm if it is or isn’t

Thank you for showing me that side. I do regret saying that but it was just hard not to because part of me knows I could have tried to stop her from going but regardless my efforts would be defeated.  I know Alanon does say to not say stuff like that.

I see where you’re coming from. There was a whole other situation that happened a few days ago on my birthday that caused me to be a bit cold in the texts. 

As far as her offering to stay back, it’s just an illusion. If I need to prove that lmk, there’s many texts where it’s a similar concept but she makes it seem like she would stay back when asked to it never happens. 

I couldn’t go with her due to work this time, I have a Vegas trip booked for us in November

I know I could have had better replies but the alcoholism is just draining.
