My BF of 4 years relapsed last month. We live separately so I haven’t seen him. Trying to control the things I can and detach calmly with love but it’s hard not to break down some days. I’ve found it really helpful reading about other people’s experiences and advice on the forums - a lot of kindness, honesty and hope so thank you all.

Welcome, and I'm sorry for your situation. Yes, there will be hard moments, but if you can focus on taking care of yourself, you will be able to get through this.

I had to detach with love from a relationship. It was hard but I focused on my kids and myself and we got thru it. We came to have a civil relationship of mutual respect. It took a while to fully let go, but it was worth it.

We have forums for friends and families of addicts and alcoholics halfway down the main index page. Give those a look if you want. Lots of experience and support there from people who have been in similar situations.

Welcome to the family.
