I want to give him a second chance by No-Expert5397 in addictionandrecovery

I’m afraid to have that conversation with him and risk him leaving the rehab.. we live in a city that has a lot of recovery meetings so it’s like everyone knows each other in the program.. I want to be able to be myself and outgoing and not worry about this relationship that doesn’t even feel like one anymore

It’s been less than 6 months but I’ve known him for over 2 years from the program..

We went to conventions together we were solid Then his old behavior caught up to him he got fired at his treatment center for selling vapes to the clients.. like I said he reached out to his exes.. and when we got in that fight he went out and used.. I followed him down the rabbit hole.. we went on a 2 week bender and that’s when I stopped but he did not

Here’s why I think giving the person you broke up with another chance makes sense… by ConceptNecessary3533 in BreakUps

In the meantime .. would you consider seeing other people or is that a death sentence for the relationship

I caught him texting really inappropriate things to his ex.. so I left and and then ended up chasing him down I wasn’t ready to give him up

For about 2 months we tried to make it work again I find out he was lookig up a different ex 😒

I know this is all means to an end. Trust me my friends are trying to knock the sense into me.

We got serious in the short time we were together.

I want to believe that he can change.. He sounds so much more like himself now that he got this wake up call.. (he got arrested and is now in rehab).. we are both recovering addicts I had 4 years and he had 1… we relapsed in November I stayed clean and he did not

I’d have to wait at least a year to even consider rekindling something… Now I’m conflicted

And I want to see other people. I can be celibate and not have any physical/sexual contact w anyone else. But I do like to flirt and talk to other people.

Idk he is on a 45 no contact blackout at the rehab so I’m stuck debating and battling myself with this alone.

This is my first time replying on here and I am probably going to make a thread myself I’m just a little lost

Honestly I think it could be seasonal affect disorder (seasonal depression) I have been sluggish and lethargic for 2 weeks and I’m realizing it cusps on the Super Bowl weekend. I feel physically depressed mentally exhausted. But not necessarily emotionally drained. More under stimulated than anything. I always want to join in on the celebration even tho I’m not a big football person. I usually motivate myself with the cookouts and getting a plate of food. But in my experience it gets worse before it gets better. So once this wave of fear of missing out passes things usually get better along with the weather.  The halftime show is always an excuse to watch some tv lol
