Sober but the same
My boyfriend has been sober for 8 months however I am still seeing a lot of the same behavior. Lying to my face and calling me insecure for asking any questions. He is very defensive if I ask any questions about anything. I have attended ALANON trying to understand the disease and dry drunk concept. I feel like it comes in cycles every few months. I hold on thinking that the sober guy I fell in love with will come back. He relapsed and drank while we were together and is now sober again however the lying, mood swings and disrespect is still there. I feel like I'm holding on for someone to come back to me that actually never will. He says I doubt him and he is sick of being questioned when the truth is he has earned that doubt with all the lies and secrets I have been presented. At one point he was even stealing my medication for recreational use while I am prescribed it for an incurable disease. UGH! This is not easy and defiantly nothing I have every dealt with before.
