Alcoholic relationships
Simon Says:
Vicki and I got a hotel room right across from Regions Hospital. We didn't waste any time getting back into the bottle. We had a lot of fun as usual, making all kinds of plans for the future and drinking a lot. Drinking way too much, and then one morning I woke up and Vicki was gone. I guess I had blacked out and had kicked her out. I didn't remember a thing, all I knew was she was gone and I kept waiting for her to come back but that never happened. A couple of days later I got a phone call from Vicki and she told me what happened. We got into an argument and I told her to leave. She had no where to go and she almost jumped off the Robert street bridge. Instead she went back to Regions Hospital and checked herself into the psych ward where she was calling me from.
She was in the psych ward for a couple weeks and she was committed. Social Services put her into a long term treatment program (90 days) and then from there into a halfway house for women in St.Paul. That's where she is now and it's been over a year. She's convinced that if we got back together we would start drinking again and she's probably right. I went on drinking among other things and I just recently found out where Vicki ended up. I went to an AA meeting in downtown St.Paul about three months ago and there she was, we talked a little, she borrowed a little money from me and I haven't seen her since. So much for alcoholic relationships.
I haven't been doing so well, been in the hospital several times, treatment twice and got committed myself. I've done all this since Vicki went into Regions that night from the hotel.
