Others may find that they can drink around their alcoholics. I will not. It hasn't turned out well in the past.
I didn't feel comfortable drinking around my AH, even though he bought me some (ha ha), and encouraged me to drink when out to dinner. Now that I left him, I still don't drink - because it just brings up too many horrible things in my mind. Maybe one day, maybe not.
