at a few months into getting to know someone, this is a pretty far-reaching statement:
As of the relationship itself, I am willing to put up with whatever it takes as long as he fights for it too. But I have never experienced it before and I don't know anyone who has been with or was an alcoholic. That's why I'm seeking advice and knowledge here.
you just MET the guy, i'm not sure you really get a vote yet on what HE needs to do with his life?? you say HE needs to "fight for it" but you have NO experience with addiction or alcoholism so you have no idea what that looks like or what it takes. whether HIS method for not drinking is right or wrong, recovery or not, it's HIS choice. can you just back off and DATE without trying to help him manage his life?
