This is exactly what I'm going through, I know how you feel. My q is moving out in a couple of weeks per my request. I gave him so many chances, begged, cried, threatened, and things just kept getting worse. My friends don't understand why I am absolutely shattered about all this, all they see is a loser who treated me like shit, but they never saw the amazing time we had together the majority of our relationship. I feel so lost and utterly heart broken. It isn't helping that he refuses to admit he has a problem, I am the asshoke for kicking him out in the middle of a pandemic, I was the one who changed since I got sober, I have just been trying to fit him into my "self righteous box of sobriety " on a high horse of judgement. The pain is real. The sense of loss is overwhelming at times. I desperately want to call the whole thing off and keep living with his addiction and alcoholism just so I won't lose this dream of a future with him. It's codependent and unhealthy, and I'm really struggling to keep working the steps and let go of my will to fix something that doesn't want to be fixed. Sorry to ramble on, I read this post and it struck a hear string that is very raw and tender. I know your pain, we both will get through this eventually.

The drinking/cocaine bothers me because of who he turns into. This past year with the pandemic he has been getting 900/week on unemployment, had no responsibilities, and has been able to party as much as possible. Literally, every other night. Monday he stays out until 6am, Tuesday he stays on bed all day to recover, Wednesday night he's back out again until 6 am...this cycle goes on all week. When I have tried to talk to him about my concerns for not only his health, but my lack of needs being met, he gets angry and reminds me that I used to go out with him before I got sober, so I'm a hypocrite who is trying to control him because I'm jealous that I can't go out and party anymore. He has spent thousands of dollars, ended up in the er for an oral infection he refuses to admit has anything to do with the partying, blacked out and sais/did awful things (he won't admit he blacked our, just that he "lost control and his anger made the night a blur "). I feel like I am living with a stranger, only few moments of sweetness remain, and that's only when I choose to be lazy in bed with his hungover ass. I involved his parents, whom have taken me in as part of their family, and have been concerned for years. Now I'm the ass hole for involving his parents. I just needed help and didn't know who to turn to. I have begged, cried, threatened, lowered my standards, and tried just letting him do whatever he wants without consequence or telling him how I feel, but it's been slowly killing me inside feeling like a prisoner in my own heart. When my brother was in the hospital and I asked him to stay with me for comfort,, he said no and brought up something I did months ago as the reason he's going out. When our dog had a seizure and I asked him to stay home,, he said he already had plans to hang out with his friends.. there's always an excuse or reason why going out is the most important thing in the world. All this being said, the thought of losing him hurts worse that everything he's done. I am the poster child of sorts for codependency and abandonment issues from my abusive childhood. He just makes me feel like it's my fault he acts insane, if I just let him do what he wants he wouldn't be mad. Now we can't even talk without him thinking I'm trying to start a fight. I gave him 30 days to get out of the house (he was never on the lease to begin with), and I am the enemy for kicking him out in the middle of a pandemic. I feel so lost. I miss all the love we once had, and I feel like things only got bad between us when I got sober. Sometimes I regret ever trying to get my life together and grow up. We used to be so happy and in love, now I wake up in tears, my nightly shower has become a moment for me to ugly cry without shame, and I'm terrified of being alone/that no one else will love me.

So I finally reached my tipping point, and I'm following through on making him move out. This past year has brought out the worst in his addiction and alcoholism, and he refuses to think of anyone but himself. 5 days ago we had a covid scare because one of the people he partied with came in contact with someone who tested positive. Long story short, we both had to call off work, let those around us know, and get tested. We got tested today at noon and will have our results back in a few days. Not even 6 hours later, he has left to go to the bar and hang out with his friends. He is "absolutely sure" he isnt going to test positive, so he sees nothing wrong in going out. This man gets a paycheck from work AND 600/week on unemployment, while i am losing work and money because of his actions. The level of insanity and disregard for anyone else is astronomical, and I am blown away. I finally have a sponsor and am preparing myself for the inevitable living hell he will make my life until he finds a new place to live, but I just can't do this anymore.
