Welcome to SR, you have come to a wonderfully supportive place, filled with experience (unfortunately at times), and lots of wisdom.

In my opinion, and experience, sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is just walk away for awhile.

I think it is a good thing that your RABF is putting his recovery above all else.

I would take it one step at a time; take care of you first. If being just friends is not what you want, wish him well for now. If he is serious about his recovery, he will continue on this path with or without your friendship. And when the time is right, and he is further along on his journey, things may work out for the two of you at that time.

Have faith. Look into Al-anon as well, very helpful when dealing with all of this.

Keep reading and posting; sending positive thoughts your way
