Looking for Guidance/Advice
I've been seeing my bf for about 3 months now and he's been sober for almost 2 of those months. In the past 2-3 weeks he has been making comments/asking questions like "I wish I could still have a beer and shoot some pool." or "I don't understand why I can never drink again." and "I believe I'm strong enough to control just having one or two here and there." This really worries me because I don't want him to slide back into drinking.His drink of choice was vodka and he had been drinking a litter bottle everyday for a couple years.
I've suggested going to AA and I tell him that even one might undo his progress but he seems confident he can control it because he no longer has the "physical need for it". I know that I can't force him to a meeting and I can't stop him from drinking.I guess I'm just running thin on ideas and I'm having trouble being supportive as I should be when I feel lost myself.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
