I woke up this morning with such a sense of relief. I don't have to worry about him if I don't want to. I don't have to concern myself with what he is or isn't doing for himself. I don't have to be sick with him if I don't want to be. I can't control what he is out there doing and I certainly can't control how he treats me. What I can do is choose to separate. I can set a boundary if I want to. I don't have to let him in. These things are all in my ability to do. Today, I can breathe.
How did you get to that point of not needing to worry. and be sad?. its only been a week since my addict boyfriend broke up with me. we dated for 4 years. he had a ring for me. and he just says he doesnt want to be with me during this process (of recovery) but shouldnt he need me? shouldnt i be there for him? im sad. miserable. all i can do is think about him. how do i not? i want us to be together still. i dont want to give up on him. i want to give him space but i dont know how much to give
