MAX D agony auntDear friend,

Its obvious from your letter that your boyfriend has seriously become addicted to drinking.

I am to sorry to have to tell you but the fact of the matter is that unless he realizes and accepts that he has a problem there is not much you can do.

Unfortunately it can be a waiting game as to how long it takes him to realize the way his life is going.

Its also possible that he is not ready to accept the fact that he has a problem with alcohol.

I do understand that you do not want to be alone and that you have put alot of time and effort into the relationship which stops you from just walking away.

If you feel strong enough and able to finish with him for the moment and by doing this hopefully he will get a wake up call and realize how much you mean to him.

By temporarily ending it with him, it will also give you a chance to see things clearly.

I would suggest a cooling off period of at least three months. Be there for him as a friend if he needs you but take a backseat relationship wise.

Hope it has been a help to you and let me know how things work out.

Your Friend,

Max D
