[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avoid relationships with alcholics or people who have "drinking problems" or whatever euphemism you're using.  The rate of relapse is high and usually drinking problems are accompanied by all sorts of other issues that will simply break your heart over time.

I say this as someone who is married to a recovering alcoholic and who has several family members with alcoholism.  I realize it sounds incredibly cold and heartless, but stay away.  Just not worth it.  [/quote]

I agree with this. My soon to be ex husband is a recovering alcoholic. I just can't warn you enough. When we first met, it was strange his reaction when I ordered a glass of wine. I was unaware of his addiction. I then moved in 6 months later and was made aware. I was scared to bring wine into the house to even cook with.  Time went on and I basicalky stopped drinking. But we had other issues including controlling behavior, his nasty attitude and what I consider verbal abuse. [b]There is something about an alcoholic's thought patterns which are off. [/b]

Save yourself from this heartbreak. [/quote]

Alcoholics often have a whole host of issues they "medicate" by drinking.  And when they're not drinking they often don't have the crutch they use to cope.  Stay away, OP.  There are many warning signs and red flags here not the least of which is that your boyfriend doesn't seem to be working his own program of sobriety but is looking to you as his buffer.  [/quote]
