Yes unfortunately about 3 yrs ago. She chose drugs over me. Did wonders for my self esteem. Been single ever since.

Yes, my mother did, and then my Ex husband did.
Mother came around after I was grown, but the ex is alone, and miserable. That's just the way it goes.

My X was a alcoholic and drug addict. He would always choose his sh*t over me...I suppose that is why we arnt togather anymore.
But now my husband fell into alcohol for awhile. He chose it over me for awhile also...finally he came to the realization it was stupid. He said "He needed help" and ever since that day he stopped drinking.. Nothing, nadda, doesnt talk about it...doesnt allow it over...if it is around he just ignores it and finally put his foot down and said no. It was a really bad addiction too. I would almost say worst case of alcholism. Drinking in the morning, afternoon, at work, passed out by 6...sick in the morning, so he would drink more. Over a pint if not 2 pints of vodka a day...the cheap sh*t too...smelly, just nasty. Made me so mad. But...everything is good now. I think one of the best things that could have happened though was we got rid of a friend who wasnt a friend.

That is exactly what an addiction is my friend.

Yes, to include mental disorders and not getting help; abuse and anger and not wanting help. Cigarettes too. And now, I'm so very happy. +4

Yes, more than one person.

I lent someone a hundred bucks for a hotel room once, and they said they would pay it back as soon as they've made some money--and ended up spending most of the money on cheap beer--does that count?
Another person I knew chose an addiction over a human life. The endangered person in question lived, fortunately, but that only gave the addict an excuse to persist (quite stubbornly) rather than to break the addiction, and to question stupidly why I would not forgive. So help me some people should be boiled in oil.
by -Icy- on July 28th, 2009
yes.

No one ever CHOOSES an addiction. Addiction is a disease, and when people are suffering from addiction they put it before anything else in their life. Once they get better, they will go back to living their lives and rebuilding their relationships.

My girlfriend normally drinks wine in moderation. Sometimes she goes into terrible binges. She needs help. What do you suggest I do?

Yeah been there, done that. It's painful, but you've got to keep trying. Not militant orders or anything, but just be pleasant, positive, and complimentary

I was younger, and I became impatient for change and afraid for how things were. I ended up pushing too hard, and there wasn't enough space. She got as far away from me as she could, because she wasn't ready to face it. I was devastated. I still miss this friend dearly. Sometimes, you can't control how things play out though. Very sad. I hope now only that she is well and OK.
