You don't have to explain. If you want him out tell him to leave. Addicts are very skilled at turning the tables. He'll put this all on you. It's not. It's on him.
Hey R.L ,Good to see ya! couple things to remember for all of us,We are responsible for our recovery and if there are things that are taking you out of the area you need to be in for stability ,peace of mind,working your own process etc then its up to you to ensure that happens.We do also practice co-dependance with family,friends, and aothers and that can also take us out of our program,so I can only suggest doing what you feel is right to maintain your ability to continue recovery.Congrats on your first year.I would also suggest to try and keep any resentments from controlling your thought patterns and making you crazy.We put expectations on others and a lot of the time we are let down.Hopefully you can share with your sponsor.A simple,you need to go ,should suffice and if possible(its difficult, take a breath,chill a little and continuing doing the work)We are here to share with each other what has worked and not worked in our lives to keep us free from active addiction for another day!!! hope to hear more from ya!!

Hoped it all worked out - Sometimes we don't feel worthy of taking care of ourselves - But I tell you the truth - It is ok - to say "its time for you to move on" - Its called self care and its part of recovery - no need to live in anger, resentment - it only hurts you - Stand up for yourself and your truth
Well tell the person to get out,you don't need them there if it bothers you,recovery is hard earned it does not come easy.If your better alone ,get rid of the person.
