hello all. i am new to recovery (and to this website). my program is pretty strong and i believe am doing what i need to do to stay sober. here is the problem. my fiancee is very supportive of my recovery, but he is a drinker. and not a glass of wine a month type drinker, but a few beers after a long day's work type. what's more, he is a beer fanatic and loves microbrews and beer culture with a hobby of collecting old beer cans and trays and junk. we have tried many different compromises and solutions around this. i don't think it is my place to tell him he can't ever drink. after all, it is my problem and not his. but he feels guilty, and then it becomes my job to tell him it is OK to do. then i get angry. yes, i love him and want this to work. we have been through hell and back because of my alcoholism. but sometimes i wonder if relationships like this can work. i am sick of fighting about it. does anybody have any experience with a situation like this? does it get easier? i would appreciate any advice. thanks for listening.
