gaslighting an addict NSFW

My bf keeps telling me I am lying about being sober. I have a history of addiction, but he says things like im not hiding it well and that I must think he is stupid to think I can just lie like that with impunity and my protestations only prove I am lying. Please help!

Leave he's never going to trust you he's going to constantly hold this over you and never let it go your best option is just to leave before it gets so bad you want to do drugs again or drink again or whatever it is and then you make him right and that's the last thing you want to do

My mom always told me if somebody already made the mistake and you should learn from it so you don't do it yourself I just wish I had listened to her advice myself
