how to deal with boyfriend now that i am sober?

Question by princess: how to deal with boyfriend now that i am sober?
After 2 hellish years of a meth addiction, I am recently sober with a job and a very nice place to live. I miss the affection of the man I use to spend every waking hour with. He is still using. I am having a hard time cutting him out of my life completely. I want to know if going out to dinner on the weekend is still doable. My family hates him. I am gaining confidence each day in my new life. I am an attractive, funny woman who is kind of scared of not having a man in her life. Do I give him an ultimatum about his not using or he will lose me? It makes me sad to think I will lose his love, I have lost so much already in my life. Each day of sobriety brings me closer back to normal life. How do I let go of the only person who loved me during my worst of times? The only one that fed me when I was hungry. Am I deluding myself? We weathered some hard times and had each others back but now that I am doing the right thing, everyone sober tells me to lose him. I feel disloyal…and kind of lonely…although I am making some new friends, none that I am close with like I was with him. I am afraid of making the wrong decision. I don’t want to lose my new clean and honest life but I don’t want to lose him. He made me laugh and held my hand through some hard times. Thank you for your help.

As long as he is still using and not trying to live the sober life like you then no you should not even affiliate yourself with him, Meth is a strange drug and the only way to beat it is not to be associated with anyone that uses it.
