6 weeks clean today but still struggling with other issues

hi everyone--im proudly 6 weeks clean today &have been home exactly a week. im currently 27 weeks pregnant with a little boy. my "boyfriend" is still out in active addiction (he shoots speed) &i know how toxic this relationship is to not only my sobriety, but also to my sanity.
im not on drugs anymore, but coming back to this at home is making me so uncomfortable. if you didn't know, im incredibly co-dependent &one of my biggest downfalls is trying to save others when i can't even save myself. i need some kindof insight from anyone.
i will try to set boundaries, but they all come crashing down as soon as i get an email, text, etc from him.
how do i end this? he lies &says he's going to change...but i know how that goes. i think he just says things to keep me hanging on. when i came out of treatment, he made everything sound so good..but nothing changes if nothing changes. i want to help him, but i don't want to jeopardize my recovery or my unborn child anymore. i love him, but i also know that we lack the capacity to love others if we don't love ourselves..im just at a loss. &trying to hang on. any help or encouragement is appreciated.
