Sabotage
"From "Tightrope":
"After a few years, I was a nightly blackout drinker. My lover drank
heavily as well, and I began to compare my drinking with his. I argued to myself
that I could not have a problem because his drinking was worse than mine at
times. In fact, I suggested that he might try A.A. When he did try this
Fellowship, I did all I could to undermine his efforts to get sober his
recovery would present an obvious, if unacknowledged, threat to my drinking.
Eventually, the stress became too much and we broke up, but not before I had
succeeded in undermining his recovery."
