Hi aguyintx
Personally, noone else ever made me drink, guy - I just availed myself of every opportunity I came across.
I have no personal experience to offer here but I know others here do and I know they will share their thoughts
You might also want to look at our Friends and Family forum.

Have you considered a support group for yourself like AlAnon? I think having some kind of support network is vital.
You'll find a lot of support and strength here anyway - welcome to SR
