Keep in mind some therapists don't understand addiction.
The therapist who was treating both me and my bf, told me things would be better if he just lived with me.
NOPE. He would still spend a couple nights a week at his place and guess what he did there? Go to the bars and get wasted.
My therapist basically encouraged him to make me his higher power, and I did not realize that until I had some distance and a few al-anon meetings under my belt.
