I don't know why, sometimes it is much higher than that, 15 or 20.
But I see 5 posts next to your name now!
So PM away, erudolph13.

Oh! Welcome to Sober Recovery.
Have you tried AlAnon, just for you? It could help you get a grasp on what is going on with your bf, and why he doesn't get it.
Most importantly, you will get lessons on how not to get hooked up with people who are addicted. You deserve to come first in any boyfriend girlfriend relationship. It is not something you have to "earn" by hanging in during an addiction.
I am a recovering alcoholic and have been married to it, and was raised by an alcoholic.
Learned a lot the hard way.
Don't do it the hard way, go to AlAnon and learn about boundaries.
