Giz,
I agree with everyone on this. IF he agrees with your limts on drinking he will just allow you to see him have that many, he will have more before or after you are around, or sneak them. I had this same scenario with my A for awhile and thought things were going ok, until I found out how much he was consuming and hiding from me and everyone else. Its playing with fire.

Remember that you are not the one with the disease...I am allergic to Peanuts, but dont expect others to limit thier peanut butter intake bc of my problem. If this guy says you should quit forever bc he has to, then that is, pardon me, but B.S. He probably figures you wont and therefore, he wont have to.

I drink socially even though I live with a recently sober (25 days) alcoholic, who is older than I am too (I am 24). Its really hard, but I try to not let his addiction get projected on to my life. Day by day it gets easier. But the interview idea, all that will do is TAKE THE ATTENTION OF HIS PROBLEM.

Just be careful and good for you for coming to Sober Recovery.

Love,
Elizabeth
