> Phil's so right. Sorry, but my ex-husband was an alcoholic, then recovering... Most addicts may stop their drug or what, when they're 'recovering', but something always replaces it. My ex- never formed healthy thinking patterns but was mired in the old. Phil's comment on checking their friends is so true. My ex- never formed ANY friendships. Really! Just acquaintances - no friends at all. If this guy does have friends, check them out carefully. If you link yourself to him, they'll automatically become the people you hang out with. Do you want to? Do you like them?At this point I have only heard about his friends, and it seems like he has a lot of them. Some of them are very old friends and some he has met in AA and other support groups. He does get addicted to things like AA meetings and now photography, but is that a bad thing? He's also addicted to spending money, but he seems to bring enough in to get away with that habit. By the way, he does not know about my boyfriend. My bad. I'm struggling with intense guilt, but trying to tell myself that a lot of people do this (see more than one person.) I'm not married, afterall. Life has been such a roller coaster lately, 2 suicides, new love and other ups and downs.
