so this is a long story but i'm desperate. I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year and he is an alcoholic. I met him when he was drinking and when I finally realized he had a problem about two weeks later I said no way, I'm not doing this. Well, he got sober and had been sober for about 13 months until about 3 weeks ago. The first relapse occurred because he was stressed because he was waiting to find out if he got the jbo he wanted. It lasted only about three days and he came back to me because he said he couldn't live without me. He was sober for about 2 and a half weeks and he finally got the call saying he did get the job. So he recently moved, about 8 hours away from me and we have done long distance before so I knew we could make it, 3 days after he moved there he started drinking again. Today is the sixth day in a row. He starts his job monday oct.1. His job is actually in his home town and his parents live right around the corner from him. Not to mention he is staying in his sister's million dollar beach house for now until he finds a place. I am absolutely broken hearted. The whole year he was sober was fabulous, we never had any problems and I knew he was the one for me. I wanted to marry him and have kids with him and now I'm scared. I know that he wants to get better because he has told me but even if he does I'm afraid this will happen further down the line when it is even more complicated with marriage and children but I can't stand to live without him. I keep praying everyday that the next day will be the last day. His parents are totally enabling him too. He wrecked his car yesterday and his dad is paying for to get it fixed so that he can drive it to work. His mom just spent $2000 on clothes for him for his new job and they are still letting him stay in the beach house. Everyone is giving me different advice and I just am completely beside myself.
