Hi, I'm Rowan and I'm an alcoholic. It's good to have you here. Do you know what I could identify with in your post? Going to a meeting when things were not going well in my life, whether with a relationship or something else that was creating strife. Today, I have learned that I need to go to meetings at least 4-5 times a week (but I only have 10 months in this time) in order to stay spiritually fit, and to get out of myself. Left to my own devices, I think way too much, and that's not a good place for this alcoholic to be. I think it is wonderful that you have 7 years! No small accomplishment!
Why don't you let go of the outcome of your relationship. I'm sure your b/f knows how you feel. Why don't you focus on you, and just accept what happens? Acceptance for me is one of the hardest lessons, but one that almost always pays off in the end. Please keep posting in here and let us know how you are doing, there are wonderful people in here. Keep coming back.
