He has been diagnosed with ADD, rather recently.
For the first 9 months or so of our relationship he would tell me he has ADD (and I knew he did-- it was quite obvious, along with anxiety issues) so I told him to go seek help for it. Since then he has been diagnosed with it, given medication for it under an NP's care, and is also in counseling/therapy.
He has actually made great strides including with the amount/frequency of his drinking and now it is just mainly an annoyance-- like every event has to include alcohol and he always wants to stop and buy some beer on the way home or whatever-- I start to wish we could just hang out sober, but he does not get super drunk like he used to. But I just get worried that it will go back to how it was.
