Am I wrong?

Question

So my boyfriend & I have been together since we were 15 and now we are 22. When my boyfriend turned 19 he met some people who did drugs and became friends with them. Long story short he ended up becoming a meth and opioid addict. He went to rehab and has been going to counseling and has been sober for a couple of months. He put “recovering addict” on his bio on Facebook and I’m really upset & embarrassed about it because I haven’t even told my parents about him being on drugs. I knew they would worry about me and I wanted to wait til he was clean for at least a few years before mentioning it to them. If they see that they will dislike him even more (they never liked him). Honestly they might already have a suspicion that he was an addict because last year we went on vacation and my boyfriend was tweaking on meth in the hotel room we shared with them and staying awake all hours of the night and running back and forth between the bathroom and the main room (I had NO idea he was on meth at this point, I thought it was his ADHD) and then at a restaurant he fell asleep at the dinner table after taking a Xanax and couldn’t even butter his biscuit because he was nodding out. 
Am I wrong for wanting him to not put “recovering addict” on his bio yet?

Answer

just because it makes you uncomfortable and you're ashamed doesn't mean he should be. admitting you have a problem is one thing, taking the steps to actually recover is another and he needs support not being made to feel like he needs to keep it a dirty little secret because it looks bad on you and you don't want people to see. also it's his Facebook he's entitled to put whatever he wants in his bio without being 'controlled' or told what to put on there

Answer

It’s just social media.
If it helps him feel more like a person, or helps keep himself accountable, let him do it.
I personally couldn’t be with someone with addiction issues, I’ve been there… but if it’s just the fact that it bruises your ego, just let it be.
If you were worried about it affecting his job, or his ability to get a good job, or his safety for some reason, I’d say you’re right.
But, If you actually love him, it shouldn’t matter what your parents (or anyone else) says about him.

Answer

Yes you're wrong coming back from drug addiction is a hard thing to do and for him to admit he has a problem and get the help he needs is a huge deal. He's allowed to be proud of himself and show it you shouldn't be embarrassed of your boyfriend journey

Answer

Stop making this about you. Good lord. My husband is a recovering addict and it is far from embarrassing.  I'm so proud of him because not many people can get sober and remain sober. He was addicted 15 yrs and now going several yrs clean now.

Answer

This isn't about you. It's HIS journey. Ashamed of it, then find someone else. Kinda sad that you're more worried about YOURSELF and your parents reaction than supporting him. Tacky. Not a fan of your post here. Bye

Answer

Your boyfriend is owning his addiction and not lying to himself about it. You are in denial and you are judging him for his actions. This could impact his recovery.
You don’t want to be with a drug addict or even a past drug addict and you are making it about your parents acceptance instead of owning you own POV on it. Don’t do that..

Answer

This man has taken the hard steps to get clean and sober and likely went through so much hell and shame for the things he’s done. And you have the audacity to say he shouldn’t be proud and broadcast that? Your parents shouldn’t effect your respect and pride in your man for doing something so hard. You sound like an ass

Answer

Stuff you. His recovery is not about you.

Answer

I think as much as it's embarrassing for you for him it's a victory Its not easy overcoming a addiction and if posting it makes him feel good and proud of himself good for him plus maybe its time for you to come clean you can hide this fact forever

Answer

It’s not about you. He needs to do what he needs/wants to do for his recovery
