I am curious on your thoughts about a relationship I have been in for over a year. It's been tumultous throughout the year. Initially my boyfriend tried to blame all his issues and inconsistancies on things like, loosing a friend to death, loosing his job, then it was he had depression, then it was he was manic depressive, bipolar. Throughout this whole time I have stood by him until he finally admitted he had a drinking problem. He has made many promises to quit drinking while on antidepressants but would never follow through. The final straw was when he was abusive to me and threw me across the room. (While intoxicated) He has since quit drinking, best to my knowlege, but I don't believe he will stay sober since it's a 30 year habit. He and his family and friends cannot understand why I don't belieev he will stay sober. (I was raised in a home where my Father and Mother lived the same life. My Father finally was kicked out. He died an active alcholic. He was abusive etc.) Do you feel it's unfair for me to not give him a chance since he's broken many many promises?

As he has broken so many promises, you have no reason to give him any new chances. But if you nevertheless want to give him a chance, you can give him Antabus or Naltrexone every dag to prevent relapse. There are also other additional drugs which can make it easier to quit alcohol dependence. Discuss this with a medical doctor, who understands alcoholism and its treatment.
