One thing that I have found really important for me to realize in sobriety is this: The only person I can change is me.

You can not change his behaviors. You can choose not to play into his behaviors though and continue to work on your sobriety and self improvement. Your son has one parent working on sobriety, that is a blessing. I agree that a meeting would be a very positive thing to get to ASAP and share what is going on. Also I have found ALANON to be quite useful to me in my sobriety as I still have friends, family that use or are recovering alcoholics.
