I don't know what you are doing for your plan of recovery...2 weeks I was a mess...But I also went to my first AA meeting in rehab...I don't even remember much of what they said...But I liked it. So I went back. It caught on with me. Why don't you explain to him what you are trying to do...Give him the option of going out to drink somewhere...Just not with you. Ask him if he wants to go to a meeting with you...Just sit and listen. It's free and it sure can't hurt either one of you. Maybe he's ready and it will click with him...Or you. I don't know...Crazier **** has happened.....Just hang on to what you are doing and make that clear from the start. That will at least slow him down. I wish you the best man...I hope it works out.
