Dina,
You do not have "codependency issues" just because you watch over your husband and your mutual friends when they drink.
Many of us former drinkers would have done many very unwise things - like driving - if someone hadn't been keeping an eye out.
When we have guests over for a party, you bet I am keeping an eye on those friends I know have a tendency to skip the hors d'œuvres and head straight for the drinks.
