My boyfriend of 2+ years is addicted to ****. He orders it on PPV and racks up the cable bills. He looks at it on the internet. I just recently found out that he is signed up on an adult friend finder web site that is specifically for people to find another person to have *** with. In his profile it says he is looking for a discreet sexual relationship with another woman in our area. I am not sure if he has contacted anyone. I am just sick to my stomach over this. We have a 10 month old child so it’s not like I can just walk away. There are also other addictions (drugs, alcohol). I am so disgusted by his actions I have no interest in *** at all. Am I driving him to look elsewhere for satisfaction? Anyone else been it a situation like mine? Suggestions? Comments?

I’m 25yrs old male. I’m also a recovering alcoholic. I have been through many trials and overcome my problems with alcohol. I have been working very hard to become self employed working in the financial markets. I have had trouble due to the recession and am currently seeking for work to help me through this.

I found a job and 2 days before I was to start, the temp agency called me and told me they weren’t going to send me to my new job because I have 3 alcohol related incidences on my record and the company wouldn’t hire me anyway so she just wasnt going to send me. I only need a job for a limited time to help me out for a while.
I’m a young adult and sure, I’ve done alot of stupid stuff in my past but this shouldnt be held against me. I told her I’m a recovering alcoholic and I’m a much more mature person than I used to be but this isnt right.

Alcoholism and addiction in general is a disease. I worked very hard to change my life for the better and its very hard to cope with that I am being held against for my troubled alcoholism.

I wrote my senator and about to write the editor of the newspaper because these are all major companies. This is against my constitutional rights! Its hard to believe that in 2008 this is still happening..

What else can I do? What can I do to help myself?
I haven’t had any alcohol for 2 years! I dont blame anyone but what happened to equal opportunity employment? That’s a right as a tax payer. Alcoholism is technically a disease. So is cancer. Look at it this way. They couldnt not hire someone because they have had cancer in the past that has a chance to come back; could they? Anyway, I’m working toward being self employed. I’m going to take what I can get and try to prevent this from happening to other Americans in the future.
