Hi, he exploded at first because when I said I’d been talking to Al-anon friends and family he thought I’d been talking to my actual friends and family. We talked (it’s never been my strong suit) I’m going to go to one f+f meeting and he does say that if he went to an AA meeting it would make it real. He has definitely been drinking more since we met and moved in together, adjusting has been a struggle and I do blame myself for a lot of that, my previous lifestyle was very promiscuous and with the age difference, he worries someone will catch my eye. I didn’t know how much the lack of weed was having an effect. Thinking about it all the time, a meal isn’t worth it because he can’t have a joint afterwards, and now the same with drink. Physical and mental symptoms constantly. The last 24 hours he’s been doing really well. I think it would be good for him to talk to someone who understands the withdrawal symptoms and can empathise, I don’t ‘get wrecked’ so I don’t get it. He says he wants to fall in love with me all over again and I will hold on to that x
