I am new obviously. I smoked pot heavily for about three years. My fiance is a struggling alcoholic. I quit smoking pot last month haven't had any triggers really accept for him. My college work has improved and so has my over all feelings about life.

welcome cherrywaves... I'm glad you decided to do something about your problem. Perhaps your boyfriend will follow suit when he sees you doing something positive. You will find so much compassion and support here, I know the folks on SR have helped me through some of my darkest days. Keep reading and posting, you will come to see why this site is such a wonderful place of support and unconditional, non-judgmental friendship. We all understand, you are not alone.

Thank you all for the support. I've never felt so appreciated and supported! I knew this website would help!!

Well we do live together so I am going to try to establish my own schedule that would give me time away from him (create healthy distance) we are both very relied on each other. I will be going to a different school from him so that would give me time away. He has made progress in his addiction (hopefully I am leading by example) He use to drink every single day now its been every other weekend, so i guess a cut back is better then no progress at all. I spend a lot of my time reading (school text books or novels) and that has helped. I want to begin working out but i'm lazy lol
