We have had that talk of drinking. I told him that I needed to have the drinking not to be a concern for me.Because I had already been with someone who drank and it was one of the big factors that destroyed my marriage. And I told my boyfriend that if his drinking stays a concern then this is far as our relationship goes. And then he asked me "then you don't want to marry me?And I said" I have always desired to marry you since early on in our relationship. It is just that I need the drinking not to be a concern. And It appears that my boyfriend has cut back on his drinking this past week.By having this conversation. Was I protecting myself?: by keeping our relationship in the reality ? I know I was respecting myself and being true to myself and respecting him.My counselor said I was taking our relationship to the next level. Do you have any ideas of what she meant by that?We ran out of time and I don't see her for two more weeks.

I thought this forum was a AA support group on line. I am to ill to drive to a support group and I don't forsee any improvement for the near future.So where do I go from here?
