I have known my boyfriend for a year, but have only been dating for 4 months. We were great friends before we started dating and were having a great 2 months, but problems started. I found out about his addiction to pain medicine and slowly over the next 2 months it became worse. He checked into rehab a week ago. He told me before he left for the 30 days he would call me. He has been distant and will not call me. I called the facility and left a message for him to call me and he didn't. I wanted to know any advise to what I can do to help support him. His mom and I were going to go visit him this weekend, but the one time I did talk to him he said he doesn't want anyone to visit him. I need advise as to what I should do. Should I visit? Should I just leave him alone for the month? I am worried about our relationship because I really want to be with him. On the other hand, I know he needs to focus on him at the moment. Any suggestions/advise??

Oh don't be worried. Its a good thing. Painful and lonely, but good. My Boo is in rehab for 6 months and has been gone since the beginning of january. We were no contact for 30 days and now we do not talk at all during the week. I see him for about 4 hours every sunday now, but it was not always that way. He could call me during the week and write letters, but he doesn't. This is because he has some real struggles going on in his life and he needs time to work on him and I need time to work on me.
