My boyfriend is in to drinking/smoking/drugs. He's not addicted to anything, but he does party a lot. I used to be wrapped up in all that crap. I was sober for a year before we started dating, but since we have been I have been drunk 4 times and high once. I am disgusted with myself for giving in to it (and it wasn't peer pressure btw, it was just me being weak.)My boyfriend is a great guy and I care a lot about him, but I am worried that if I stay in this relationship, it will be very hard for me to stay away from the drinking and smoking. I don't want to break up with him over something like this, but I just don't know if I can handle the temptation yet. Should I break up with him?

If this relationship is damaging to your mental/physical health along with your messing up your sobriety, then yes, you need to end the relationship. It is not healthy for you to be with a guy who is going to hinder your recovery. Plenty of people who have had substance abuse problems are naturally attracted to others who have the same problems, you need to find someone who is going to support you in being sober and who isn't into any substances himself. Do yourself a favor, and break up with this guy. I don't see you staying sober with a boyfriend who isn't going to do it with you.
