Good for you! You had an issue, you shared the issue with someone you have feelings about. That is major good.
I understand. Just the smell of alcohol sends me into some anxiety. I can work through it in my head, but I do know I would never be able to have a relationship with someone who drinks on a regular basis. No way.
That's just me. The thing is, a regular person is just like he said. They can take it or leave it. No everyone is an addict, but separating that in our heads is hard.
Addiction sucks.
Carry on......
