In response to alcohol addict posted by ohsoconfuzed:

well my guy has been more of a binge drinker, when he's at the top of a manic episode or the bottom of a depressive episode, alcohol and a lot of it, is his self medication. I did end it yesterday, Friday night was the last straw, got in my house at 3:30 am, took a knife and started slicing his forearms, raging at me, grabbed my arms and shook me up a bit. I finally talked him down and got him out of the house at 5:45!!!! Said I had made him angry because I did not call him. Saturday he was tearful and sorry, had all the sweetest things to say and excuses. I held firm and told him we can only be friends, he needs to get help. Then he got angry and said his problems were because of the relationship, I make his emotions go up and down!!!!!!
I feel like a ton of bricks have been lifted from my shoulders!!!
When you get around him and realize he has been drinking, best to keave him alone and go elsewhere. Even if he starts out in a good mood, it takes a split second to change faces.
