So is this manipulation?
My AH tells me that he wants to get sober. He went to rehab and has followed up by attending AA 5 nights a week. He has a sponsor who he meets with on a regular basis. He also attends a weekly after-care session with a psychologist. Even with all this, he continues to drink at the slightist emotional discomfort. I want to believe he is sincere and just struggling but I have to wonder if this is just further manipulation since I've told him that I will stick around as long as he is working on recovery. What do you think?
