Hi , Im also new to this and hope that I will receive the inner peace and maybe share my experience with someone that might need it . i have been in a close relationship now for 2 and a half years with a recovering addict . For the first year of our relationship he was an alcoholic where his life became unmanagle , with the help and support of me and his mom , he entered into rehab . he has now been sober for almost a year ! But wow it hasnt been the easiest of rides . I only today understand the difference between Phsyical Sobriety and Emotional Sobriety :-) . StudentUCF dont wait any longer , confide in your parents and trust God - i wish you well x
