Charm. I am currently going through this. And by being on this site i realized the situation u and I are in is not an uncommon thing (Lovely guy sobering up leaves a relationship). I was with my ex for 10 months and during the last month he quit drinking....and also quit me! (our situations are also close because of the whole sex thing being so strong starting the whole relationship, etc, etc, etc). He says its to hard going through withdrawal and its to hard for him to be in a committed relationship......I know there is no one else in his life.... but drunks have a totally different thinking...
but what I don't understand is what thinking does a recovering drunk have ?!?!?! Now that they want to be sober...wouldn't they want what is good in other aspects of their life...like friends, overall health, etc?? So why do they quit their girlfriends as well?
