Alcoholic Boyfriend

GROW UP, u have your responsibilities and with this guy u r neglecting them.
get over it and move on NOW

Thank you for your post. However, I am looking for someone to respond who has experience with an alcoholic. Like someone who is involved in Al-Anon. I am not looking for someone who is ignorant on the situation.
Thanks!

u can join Al-Anon, u can research Al-Anon, u can call them, write them, u could have done this on many occasions according to u "He has been in rehab several times and halfway houses."
The one truly choosing to ignore reality seems to be u.
This is the life u offer your child, demanding others acquiesce to your co-dependence.
best wishes TO YOUR CHILD
btw how about mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, ministers, previous re-habs HAVE U IGNORED ALL?

I plan on joining Al-Anon. I haven't up to this point because it had not been an issue! He would drink on and off but it honestly never became an issue until the past month. I was beginning to think he wasn't truly an alcoholic! I was not in his life in previous experiences. I built a relationship while he has been sober and got to know the person he truly was, before even knowing he was living in a half-way house. That being said, I don't judge people on their past experiences and completely believe people have the ability to change.

As for the more information you speak about.. family, ministers etc.. Sadly I have none of these in my life... Thus, i am on here! I am not your typical "whoa as me" girl who bases life on emotion. I do look at situation and make logical decisions... which you may believe I am not making the right one based on this information, however, I have not made a decision yet as to what I am doing. This guy is a really good person, and whether he is in my life as a friend or a lover he will definitely be there. Everyone in life has issues!

As for my son, he will ALWAYS come first in my life, and this person treats him like he is his own when he is sober. OH, and like I said before my son has NEVER been exposed to any of his actions, prior to this one incident... NOT that it makes it right I know.

What makes this time in rehab any different? I don't know.. and don't know that it will... what i do know is he stopped going to meetings and that effected him.

Thanks again for your reply.

One more thing I would like to mention, I have met some amazing people through attending AA meetings, who have been sober for years! And I believe this guy will eventually get it when he is ready!
