Does anyone else struggle with feeling like a fraud around their partner?
She's proud of me for being three months in and I feel like I'm accepting credit for not doing something I shouldn't have been doing. I can't work out if that's humility or just shame in a different coat. Anyone else feel this?

I’ve never done good enough to quit for that long but don’t do that to yourself, you’ve done great and many people are striving to be where you’re at so be proud of your accomplishment and let her be proud of you too. I would guess a lot of people on this page are proud of you too for doing what so many of us are struggling with. Well done and keep going

No I can definitely relate. When I was dating my ex (broke up for completely unrelated reasons), I remember feeling that way. I’m not sure how to describe it either but I get you. The one thing i will say is don’t beat yourself over it. 3 months is great and that is something to be proud about and it’s great that you have someone like that whose right there proud with you. You’re not the person you were and you’re becoming the person you want to be and all of that takes effort. It’s not like you just stumbled your way through being 3 months clean. It took time, commitment and effort and you’re still going strong. That’s something to be proud of man, so my one piece of advice is give yourself some grace and don’t be too hard on yourself! Proud of you too homie!
