He goes to aa? He admitted he has a problem? .
Family and friends who havent experienced alcoholism as closely as we have seen the ups and downs
Are going to have a hard time wrapping their minds around it.
They are going to question your judgement and speak up.....what you do of course is your decision.
I can understand their concerns. Yall have no children. 10 month relationship and not married.
However you want to be in this relationship. Even well knowing that his problem could get
Worse for the both of you.
So what do you do? You come here. Great first step! What do you do next?
Learn more about alcoholism. Knowledge is power. Then set boundaries but truthfully if he is going to meeeting and trying that is a good start for him. Next try not to get to involved with his recovery. .you have you are own. Lastly the big thing I have seen help is letting him fail....
An example of this is if cant get up for work because he drank too much. Dont wake him. Cause and effect...he cant see theres a problem if their isnt a consequence.
