I have a great boyfriend. He is a long term meth addict and has finally decided to get clean. He has been in jail and is on day 46 of his sobriety. He will be coming out and joining a program. I know that we will learn a lot together and separately.

For me, just today, I learned that I pretty much date guys with problems. My dad and mom were alchoholics, I've had past boyfriends and an ex husband that were addicts.

I'm worried that if I don't address my issues straight on, as an individual, that I am not going to grow out of this. When my boyfriend said he was getting clean, I actually panicked… What if he didn't love me when he was sober? That's really hard to share.

I didn't realize about the past relationships until today. It's really bothering me, but there has to be something deep down inside me that has caused me to allow this behavior. My ex-husband didn't start out as an addict. After 12 years of marriage, he started abusing prescription drugs.

I didn't know my current boyfriend had a problem or was even a user until I had already fallen for him!

What is within me that attracts this type of behavior? I'm here to work on it.
