Soul Mates but have issues 1st

I am in love with a man who is my "other half", he is the most wonderful thing that has come into my life. He feels the same about me. It was the 1st time I experienced love at 1st site.
Now to the problem, he is a recovering alcoholic and began drinking again. He has stopped for 2 weeks now and moved to another town to get his life straighten out. This is something he needs to do and I understand that. We are so sad without eachother, it's almost like a cruel twist of fate.
He said he will always love me but he has work to do and he does. How do you know if this is really the one for you? I never met a Soul Mate before him and he feels the same. I'm afraid time and distance will carry us in different directions. I suppose if it is meant to be, God will put us back together. I love him regardless of his flaws (or what he thinks are flaws, I think they make us into the person we really are). Anyway, I'm so sad-any advice?

thats tough as i have had a past relationship with a person in AA, and unfortunately for them to get better usually means that have to start with a clean slate, that is an unfortunate twist of fate for you, but i am a firm believer that the universe will pic you up and bring you to where you should be, keep in mind he has to do this, its not a choice its a need. only time will tell, hang in there, keep tight with your friends and family theyll help you through

I am sorry you are going through this. I do however believe there is more then one soul mate for you and soul mates for different levels, meaning some you are there for a reason. It is hard to determine some if it is a reason that you were brought into there life. But in the end you will see. I think an open mind and just being there as a friend for now is best and when situation is better think of more of a relationship. Because right now I only see this dragging you down when what he needs is someone strong in his corner. This is hard but we are here for you. Also, there is a support board on IV for this. Let me know either here on or off the board for the link.
