Thanks for your reply, it means a lot to me. I’m trying to understand what’s going in his head.

He’s managed 3 months clean before with support from his meetings and sponsor.

He spent most of lockdown with us..he wouldn’t have coped on his own otherwise. Hes got a good job and worked from our home.

He got WiFi in then went home.

Its a pattern now, he gets paid then goes off the rails for a few days and blows his wages over 7-10 days. Then comes to us for cigs, food petrol to sub him, til next pay day.

He said he lapsed cos he’s a young guy and he’s lonely and wants to go a drink like other people.

It’s good to hear your advice and support coming from a person in recovery and really trying hard not to lapse.

I think he may have mental health issues, but i don’t know what he’s doing to address it. He says its his business and he’s dealing with it.

I hope and pray all the time for him and others in same situation and their loved ones. My husband and i are exhausted and I understand it’s not easy him too.

Any advice is welcome, and thanks for reading my ramblings.

I’m not sleeping well either these days.
