((Reed)) - He is only thinking of HIM. Think about it, if you were the one who would make sure he stayed clean, why didn't he get and stay clean all along?
I'm a recovering addict, but oddly enough, lying wasn't something I did. My last addict bf, however, would lie if he was breathing.
It sounds like he went to rehab only because he was arrested. I don't see ANYTHING in him that shows he's even thinking about recovery. I also have loved ones who are A's and I've learned to give them the dignity of living their life as they want to. That's what my loved ones did for me, and I finally hit bottom but some never do until they die.
I think you did really good to get out of this relationship when you found out about his addiction. It may help you to go no contact - don't answer phone/text/FB/e-mail etc. It's not abandoning him, it's taking care of you.
Hugs and prayers,
