I love him, but I don't want to be with him when he's using. He doesn't love himself and he can't love me and treat me the way I deserve when he's in this position.
That is a great statement. Hold onto it.

One of the things that helped me was learning that my A and the toxic relationship we had was my drug and my addiction. Just like the A who has to diligently work a program of recovery to stay away from drugs and alcohol, WE need to do the same to stay away from the toxic relationship!

I swear we can feel the same pulls and cravings as an addict. We HAVE to see him we HAVE to talk to him... maybe this time it will be different. Well, the only thing that worked for me was (1) leaving and (2) working really hard at my recovery program. Every day. Going to meetings, getting a sponsor, reading the literature and concentrating on my own recovery.

Good luck Tabitha. I hope you get to see your new niece!

Offering up my hugs, support, and prayers today.
You will get the answers your searching for, just take
things one day at a time. Need a break? I think visiting
your sister and seeing the baby born is just the ticket
to distraction you need right now.
Thinking of you,
