Call It Off

I had alcohol problems and I had stopped the heavy drinking but was still embroiled in this unhealthy relationship. I felt tricked that I had fallen for the marriage trap after three years of sobriety on his part. We had this Las Vegas wedding planned for a year. I went ahead and did it on blind faith. The night before, he got drunk. I didn't have the self-confidence to call it off the next day. Of course. One night I came home to see him snorting coke lines with his friends.

The next night, he was a raging animal. I noted the hate in his eyes for me. I knew he would kill me someday. That day I moved out while he was out of town. I finally called it off. For good.
