This is a timely thread, so thank you. I am dealing with a very intense connection to my boyfriend who drinks. I am struggling right now, back at al-anon thankfully. Keeping the focus on myself, and recognizing that I am powerless...
We are incredibly compatible sexually, and we get along well in so many other ways. Except I just don't want to be around him or talk to him on the phone when he's been drinking. Trying to explain it to him is difficult, I am horrible about setting boundaries and sticking to them, especially with him!! But I am trying!!
