Thank you for the reply.

I know I can't change him and I try to be as supportive as possible.I told him one day one that I was not going to rescue him because he wasn't possible.He needed to get sober for himself not me.

As for your comment about him drinking again,its very possible. I do know he has already had one slip.He bought a drink the other day and consumed about 1/3 of it before his conscious and guilt kicked in. He told me as soon as I got home from work that day.

I think he is mostly overwhelmed about all the changes taking place. He has lost at least one friend b/c they "don't know how to act around him" and the fact that he now has to re-organize his life now that the vodka doesn't rule every second.

I did find a local Al-Anon meeting in my area which I plan to attend this week.I am curious would it be a good idea for me to attend an AA meeting until then without him? For my own insights and maybe some tips on getting him to a meeting?
