Chance to Get Out
I could sign a lease today for a place starting this weekend. And To get out of a relationship with my bf that I dont think is healthy. He will NEVER stop drinking and barely has reduced any. But still have hopes it will get better. But I also probably add to the unhealthiness of everything. But I am trying to get better! I have been asking for help from my HP for days. I go back and forth. I am making myself sick 
but I have visions of being in my new but very super tiny place with my dog and be at peace.

Sounds like a sweet life! I love my little place, that is all mine, where I live with my pup.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Having your own little space to fix up & grow in & just be yourself in is a really lovely thing. It doesn't have to be forever. I hope to someday live with someone again & have been lonely at times, but it has also been a great experience that I wouldn't take back...

This thread reminds me of Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own".
Maybe I am biased, having lived 13 years in my own space. I moved out of an unhealthy relationship and into my own little flat. It all took time, but it was the start of learning to be self-sufficient emotionally and intellectually.
I definitely found peace living on my own. I also found inner strength and I now feel able to face anyone and anything by drawing on it.
You sound like you already know it will be a good move. I wish you well.

I would go for it. I live alone (with two dogs and four cats, so not really alone) and like it that way. No one to answer to and no one's messes to clean up.
I hope you and your dog find peace of mind in your own place.

It was hard to find the right one when I wouldn't leave the wrong one.
Being alone for some time with my animals was healthy.
Once I was ok with being alone
all things came together.
Take care of yourself,
