I'm courious to know if his drinking around you makes you want to drink or has any affect on your personal recovery.

The reason I asked is because I recently read an article debating this very thing about the family/spouse/friends of the A and whether or not they should abstain when around their A. I am not talking about other alchohlics here like you describe. I am talking about going out to dinner with friends and the non-alchoholic spouse and friends want to enjoy a glass of wine which they can do responsibly.

This article was debating whether they should give up their personal desire and enjoyment of a drink while around the A or whether it is the A's responsibility to deal with the fact that he/she cannot drink while others can.

I have no idea what the right or wrong answer is but I would love to know your thoughts on that.
