Hey everybody,
I am brand new to this so I will try to keep this short and simple, but I would appreciate any and all insight and advice.

I am dating a recovering addict and I just wanted some advice from either someone in the same position as me, or even all of the recovering addicts out there. Let me pick your brain!
I've noticed that my bf is very snappy at times, and very quick to get loud, when my tone is normal. He thinks I am trying to always attack him when I am never doing that.
I want to understand the addict's mind better so I know what triggers certain reactions, so I know what not to do!
I caught him in a very small lie, that shouldn't have even been lied about. it was very stupid on his part to even lie. But he explained that it was a reactive lie, a compulsive thing that he's used to. Is this normal? Should I be worried that I will be lied to more often and that this will be his excuse?

Ok folks, please type awayyyyyyyyyyyy
