Quote: Also, he has been telling me lately that I have been acting differently and seem to be moving off into my own direction.
I think he's told you his fear. Is it enough for him to get clean and sober? You know the hurdle standing in your way. I haven't had any experience with chemical dependence so I'm not sure what is best. Will tough love be more helpful or patient support?
But I agree that you have slipped back into a mode where you are obviously waiting for him to get his act together while perhaps you keep your life on hold. Maybe he sensed that you are nearing the point where you can't do it anymore. You do need to look out for yourself and make sure that you are happy with the life you have while still keeping in mind the life you would like to have.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
