    I have a vid of him shouting at the microwave thinking its his ex. Showed it to him and he denied it happened. I would put it up but I don't think it would help my situation. It is funny, but not if you have to live with it.

    You have to put this up on youtube. The video has potential to get 100,000 views. Just think of the advertising revenue you'd receive from it :cool:

    Al-Anon is designed to help people affected be alcoholism. Find a meeting near you, and you will get the help you need to cope with this situation.

    Do you realllly love your apartment that much? I wouldn't try so hard to stay another year. If there's nothing you can do about the lease, are you gonna be able to get rid of him when its up?
    I know its not fair, but I wouldn't be killing myself to live there. The apt might be great, but if you're getting a bad deal with the flatmate and the atmosphere is crappola...

    Hope you come up with a plan and get sorted soon

    Edit: do stick it out till the end of this lease

    Thinking this is probably the best plan. I have been too good to him in the cleaning and upkeep department, also in sorting any problems in the apartment. All that stops today. I don't like just "renting a room" as I'm not a teenager anymore but it looks like I gotta go back into that mode again. Might have a chat with the letting agent when the last month kicks in and see if I can take up the lease & sublet the room. Till then gotta try avoid the Incredible Drunk/Sulk. Reality is a bi**h

    now, now. It's not "god". It's any higher power that has power over you and that you have to accept as your saviour and relinquish all power to. Nothing like god at all, honest!

    Invite your mates around and talk about religion while he's there.

    He'll pack his bags soon enough.

    He'll hit rock bottom eventually and when he does he'll either get his act together or fall apart completely. Don't get involved. You've no idea what you'd be getting into. That video with the microwave might be pretty funny though, mental health concerns aside. :pac:

    I can't believe no one has suggested this.

    1. Match the muppett drink for drink.
    2. Abuse him while you're drunk
    3. Start to steal his cans
    4. Shift his ex-microwave


    he'll soon move out. Who wants to live with an Alco?

    :D

    I would move out wowzer. Sounds like this guy is on a path to self-destruction. I get you love your flat, but plenty of other nice ones out there.

    Sexier microwaves, too. :)

    Exactly. Put up the video, make enough cash to cover the lost deposit and move.

    **** your flat mate, nothing more ignorant than some **** with a booze problem.

    So my housemate has become ever more reliant on the booze over the last few months. Started when he was sneaking out for a cheeky pint on nightshifts a couple of months ago. Since then he has been drinking 5 out of 7 nights a week including cans in his room when he thinks I don't know. Now he is either hungover or drunk and the moodswings are intolerable. The other day he lost it with me because apparently I talk too much and am annoying. I'm stuck on a lease with him for another couple of months and just don't know what to do. Sure my Landlord doesn't give a damn as long as they get their rent but I can't put up with this for much longer. Has anyone any experience like this? I know Alcoholism is serious but he just can't recognise it and somehow thinks I'm the one with the problem because I'm concerned for him. At a loss for what I can do. Can anyone help?

    Dont be concerned for him. He's just a cnut. Dont try some softly softly approach with concern for his mental well being and his substance abuse affliction. That's for his mother to worry about and is not your concern. Tell him he's a stupid cnut if he's starts getting moody with you. Let him leave the place, why should you.

    Also watch your valuables and money in the accommodation. They're not safe if the prlck has a dependency problem.
