[quote=Anonymous]He's so sweet,kind, funny and intelligent and I feel more comfortable with him than I have with any man. He's also not bad on the eyes.

But he's admittedly an alcoholic.

He's talked about being blackout drunk before.

He first quit drinking 8 years ago relapsed after 2 years and then immediately recommitted to sobriety and has been sober now for 4 years.

Along with the alcohol addiction was a food addiction food for boredom and comfort.

He's lost a ton of weight through exercise and change in eating habits and if course no longer drinking..

I don't know some specifics such as what lead to the alcohol and food dependency or what triggered the relapse.
I do know he's changed the circle he was in and his social circle now is people into fitness and healthy living.

I guess my concern is relapse when building a life together with children when he's not able to work out as often because of family responsibilities does that energy go back to drinking or drinking to cope with stress of family life?[/quote]
