Hung out with my ex today. He is still drinking. I love this man, but with a couple months sober, I see things so differently. I am sure greatful I am sober and see things for what they really are.

I can’t imagine how difficult that must be 4 you.
Be prepared to end the relationship. Your sobriety is way more important than a go nowhere relationship with a person who still drinks. You're only 2 months sober you'll realize that the "love" you have for him is immaterial to your sobriety. Once again you're sobriety is more important.
I had to end a relationship with someone before due to me being in recovery her still in addiction. I could saw myself being pulled back into it. I ended it completely because my recovery comes before any relationship. My recovery my journey my responsibility.

Hello Tanya. I quit going on 5 years and my ex-wife didn’t. It got worse because all she did was drink and bring up the past and then she got verbally abusing towards me so I ended up getting a divorce and now that’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I started over with someone that never drank before and now I’m happier than ever. Just stay happy no matter what but don’t fall off the bus and go back to drinking. You stay safe out there.
Thank you I appreiate the perspective. Yes he does get verbally abusive still when he drinks....very draining!
