New and Nervous
Hello,
Totally new here and hoping to find some advice about my boyfriend's addictions. I've gone through heroin, alcohol and suboxone (currently) addictions with him and am at my breaking point. I'm 15 weeks pregnant... Eveything was going great and he was on his way to sober when I conceived. Or so I thought. Feeling like I made a huge mistake that will link me to him forever now. Don't consider myself naive, but here I am. There's been so many broken promises and harsh words ( from me). Feeling stuck. Hopeful that he will stick with sobriety (he's entering a recovery program on Monday) but also more worried that he won't.
Probably the worst thing I've ever dealt with in my life. I'm 35.

Welcome,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I think that you need to focus on you and your baby right now and make sure that you are taking care of yourself. It's good that your boyfriend is going into a recovery program next week, but it's also good that you are realistic that this may not work.
We do have a forum for Friends & Families as well:

Thank you all for your hellos and kind words. It's a very nice welcome. I do know this baby comes first and he may need to figure his recovery out without me. I'm prepared for that. I'll check out the family and friends forum. Happy Thanksgiving!
