Yes they do! You failed to mention if your BF is an active addict or in recovery. Ditto his ex. It's good you recognize the fact that you're drinking too much. Find an Al-Anon meeting and go today. You will get some much needed support, and probably meet someone who has had very similar experiences. You might also want to attend an AA meeting. Drinking to "numb" is not good. You can decide for yourself if you need help with your drinking. One thing that seems certain, is that if you are trying to get your BF sober alone, you will be an alcoholic before he gets sober. Try prayer. Even if you don't believe, pray in disbelief. Good luck, and I'll pray for you.
