I am a month sober and my boyrfiends keeps aking me to smoke weed with him, he doesnt think that would break my sobriety, how do I explain to him that it does?

You can explain it to him but he probably won't understand if he's not trying to get sober himself. If he can't take no for an answer and respect your decision, frankly you may need to look at making a serious lifestyle change.

My ex kept telling me to control myself. That didn't work and neither did the relationship. Getting sober means making some tough life decisions. Tell him that, for you, pot leads to harder drugs, such as drinking.
I can't be around cigarette smokers because it makes me crave alcohol. I always drank when I smoked and vice versa. I can't have Nyquil or Dayquil when I'm sick. I can't have Vicodin or medical marijuana for my time of the month even though I have endometriosis and the pain is debilitating. All of that will lead to drinking for me. Do what's best for your sobriety and that could mean making some serious life changes like Scott said.

Hi Marl - welcome

chances are you won't make him understand - I'd hope he respects your 'no' tho.
