Alcoholic Ex

Since my ex left he’s saying that he’s no longer an alcoholic and it’s got me thinking if it’s possible for it to be true. A bit of background: very secretive drinker, I always thought he drank too much from the off, what I saw was on average:6/8 cans of cider and a couple of bottles of wine a night, what I didn’t realise was also included in that was quarter bottles of vodka that I found hidden around the car/house. Each time he detoxed himself until he was next found out, the last time he was mixing prescription painkillers with it. He completely blames me for all his alcoholic woes and I’m wondering if he’s projecting his guilt and blame/responsibly on me.

No I would not believe a word of what he tells you. He is indeed projecting all his guilt and responsibility onto you so you need to stop being his audience and further engaging with him in any conversation.

People don't stop being an alcoholic, it's for life.
