Metallicthorn, the title of your post "buried alive" implies you are in a situation that is out of your control.

The fact remains, you are currently in a new relationship (six months) and are choosing to remain involved with an active alkie.

This guy has zero intention of embracing recovery at this time. He has told you that, and yet you think you possess some magical power that will save him ? Please, please continue to educate yourself about addiction. There is no romantic "I will save you and we will live happily ever after" in this situation.

Nothing you do or say, will change anything for him.

When dealing with addiction, we pay attention to actions, the addicts words are meaningless.

You get to decide how much of you, you are willing to invest in someone who is currently unavailable.
