Yes.
I am speaking as someone who's alcoholic boyfriend called her once an hour while he was in rehab. He didn't learn anything, because he was so busy trying to contact me, and leaving nasty-grams on my phone when I stopped answering.

I hit my bottom while he was in rehab, due to the constant phone calls ("Why don't you iron my shirts so they'll be all ready when I get out!" "I called you ten times this morning, I'm in rehab so you need to answer the phone whenever I call so you can support me."), and now he's an alcoholic ex-boyfriend.

He's in rehab now. He's safe. They know what he's doing.
You are now free from the daily drama that comes with living with an alcoholic, so now is the time to work on your own health and mental well-being while he has professionals being paid to look after his.
