I thought my problems were about my XBF (I hesitate to say ABF because he doesn't think he is an A) at the time too. I also feared that I was getting sucked into that world. I started going to a group and realized that my problems are my problems, not his or anyone else's for that matter. It's been almost 6 months since my last drink and I am very happy I made this decision...for me. He chose not to acknowledge his problems with drinking or with his anger. I broke things off at the end of July because I saw that I liked this life - even alone - more than I did the life I had with him drinking to excess. Congratulations for staying at the meeting and I hope you find what you are looking for there!
Oh...I had someone from work show up in my group as well...at first I wanted to hurl and then I realized he was there for the same reason. I see him occassionally at work now and I don't feel awkward at all...can't say if he feels the same.
