If he has been snoring like that for 4 years, and he is the one that can sleep anywhere like a baby, I would make the couch up very nice for him and say honey, I need you to please sleep on the couch, as I need to sleep. I think it's hard not to go into a kindof rage when your sleep deprived and in early sobriety, so maybe take action, avert the situation by finding a solution yourself, instead of becoming so frustrated because he isn't taking any action. And buy him one of the snore guard things...handle it yourself would be my suggestion.

Glad you posted instead of drinking. I have a simple solution to this complex problem- get rid of the boyfriend! I didn't hear one positive thing he brings to your life. of course you want to drink

Basically let's keep this full 100 is keep it about the issue ie drinking problem/alcoholism I think your bf is getting slaughtered for his snoring poor bloke don't even know and you didnt come here for that

You had me at this is full on quit .... I am pleased to meet you and if you ever need to chat rant lol or whatever we are all here

If your bf isn't supportive or understanding or things will be harder to solve with him around maybe ask for some support thru this or ask for some space so you can focus on your sobriety

Oh and nice to meet you I'm from London too

ah, a london boy i like it, where do you hail from?

To be honest, i think most people if you read seem to be on his side not mine!
i wasn't ranting about him rather giving the whole thing context.
I suppose I just feel like when i need to feel someone out there will go out there way to look after me when i'm feeling fragile, it never happens.
Its just one of those times when i'd find myself reaching for the sauce, drink is always there for me, well, was. ha. I guess i've just come out of withdrawal, i need my rest and i'm being touchy. I don't know I've not really slept in a few days. I'm starting to go cross eyed! ha
