Recently had to break free from someone i truely cared for. He was my rock helped me get sober and we feel inlove. He relapsed and its been 2 months of pure torture . Got to the point where i couldnt take being his punching bag and couldnt trust him with my child. Hes moving away on the 1st to try and get his head on stright.. but thats over 4 hours away and my childs losing the guy hes been calling dad for 8 months. Its so sad but i had to do what was best for myself and my child. It just sucks he couldnt do it with out leaving the state..

Always. Before my relapse I had 8 years I got clean the moment I knew I was pregnant. I'm thankful I could walk away again
I feel this! I've had to leave the love of my life to stay safe and sober. I have had the same thought. Why wasn't I enough, or why weren't we? 8 years! But we will get through it one day at a time.
I’m so sorry your going through it I pray that you find some comfort one day at a time
You are enough and you are worth it. Being someone’s punching bag isn’t what you deserve. You and your child deserve the world. Have a wonderful day.
In his recovery, he will come to his senses, and through the grace of God, he will work hard to be reunited with you again. I pray that this plan will take effect. Praying for your patience for his return 
I had to learn from leaving a relationship with another addict that my value had nothing to do with why he couldn't stop using. Everyone's sobriety journey is different. He was a part of my life for like almost 10 yrs and it hurt like heck to lose him. But let me tell you, if I had stayed, I would've been miserable for another 10. He just couldn't or wouldn't leave that life alone. Think of you and your child. Hopefully the time apart will give him some perspective.
Im kind of going through the same thing right now as well. My girlfriend and I have been together for 4 years but she isn't ready for treatment and it's so stressful trying to have a relationship with her that I had to walk away.She is constantly trying to reach me and convince me we can still be together. Its like one of the hardest things I've had to do in my recovery. I'm just six months clean yesterday and I won't let anything bring me back to where I was at any cost.I hope we can get through this I understand how hard it is.Ill friend you and we can support each other if you like. I could use a friend to talk to about things who can relate to what in going through.We got this hang in there.
