Yes! We had split in March due to drinking and the behaviors (among many other things) that came along with it. Lying, being flaky, and general apathy involving the relationship. He and I were great friends before and throughout my divorce 2 years ago and after a while it just segued into a relationship. We're both divorced and have separately had major issues with booze. He cut down--almost entirely back while I continued to drink without abandon. I was miserable as a human being and I knew that quitting drinking wouldnt solve my problems, but it would help me deal with them. I quit in March and have been off and on the wagon since, this being my longest stay since. I knew that in spite of anything, he was my closest friend and confidante. When I drank heavily, I didnt confide anything in him or anyone else. I just shouldered the burden by myself and suffered as a result. In May we went fishing together and ended up talking the whole time. Since then, we've taken things slowly and the gift of being 100% honest with him is the best thing ever. While we're both quite cautious and extremely far from perfect, this time around has been very rewarding. I care for him more than ever as a person and I look forward to what the future can bring sans booze.
