If you want to keep your gf you have to confide in her and make her a part of your life and not shut her out. Alot of times when this happens the spouse/gf/bf feels shut out and that they are not loved. You need to involve her and tell her how you feel. Maybe you need to find a clinic or hospital that deals with abuse problems. If you don't want to check yourself in, at least you need to take care of the issues that make you get to this point and the root causes of the alcohol abuse. Whether it is alcohol or other forms of drugs, you need help by a professional. Even seeing a qualified psycologist that has extensive experience in abuse will help, but you are not going to get anywhere if you do not take action and perhaps take your gf with you. I have been thru this, not personally but i have had someone close go thru abuse counseling so i know it takes time, but you have to admit to yourself you have a prob and take the steps to change it. Talking will help, but you are the only one that can make the change. If you ever want to talk, you have my #.
