Toxic exes

Is it better to leave them while in recovery? Especially if they’re an alcoholic. I’ve noticed now that I’m sober how drinking controls him. Tonight he told me I probably relapsed because that’s who I am. am proud to say I did not and I am staying strong. I think it’s best to leave them…..

Good for you. If it’s a threat to your sobriety then leaving is best for you.

I just can't see how they do any good. Maybe if they get into recovery for 6 months or something. First things first. You take care of you.

When we have relationships with practicing alcoholic/ addicts I suggest Al-anon meetings for you

It’s funny how people don’t like the person we become in Recovery.

We MUST take care of ourselves FIRST. We cannot control the recovery of others.

I know it’s a struggle to leave a relationship anytime especially when starting new in sobriety. I would get 30 days and relapse every single time. I finally left him and have almost 6 months sober. He wasn’t the issue but was a trigger and I feel a lot more confident in myself and my sobriety alone.

If you have to ask if they're good for you, it seems you already know. The hole only gets deeper until you decide to put down the shovel.

When entering sobriety we are told that we need to change our people, places and things.

He seems like a person who you will need to change your relationship with.

It’s interesting to hear the responses… they definitely reflect the gamut of recovery survival as opposed to wisdom and discernment :pray:t4:

Right thoughts. Right words. Right action. ❤‍🔥:sunflower::rainbow::metal:t4:

Would love some sober friends! :two_hearts: it’s crazy how I was writing this and then he messages me that. Definitely affirmed that I should leave him.
