I hit 4 months a couple weeks ago, and I know what you mean about being with an alcoholic. It sucks.
It makes me angry, personally, that I can do this, so why can't he?
I am so glad that someone else knows what I am talking about though, I really needed to hear this, I am currently complaining about it on another website as I type. Thank you so much!
