My Readers Digest double winner:
I was sober over three years when I met someone. He was sober 4 months. After a year and a half or so he wanted to move in together, I did not. We broke up. Remained friends for the next year and then started casually, yet exclusively dating last year. He told me he was drinking beer again, I told him probably not wise, but not my life. Please do not drink around me. He usually comes over on Friday after work and then leaves on Sunday morning. We usually talk on the phone daily. I have no idea how much he drinks during the week. It often sounds like he has been drinking when we talk on the phone during the week, but I have no proof.
I am sure he thinks he is no longer an alcoholic and can drink beer like a normal person…..perhaps he can, but I doubt it. Although, it seems he has been doing it for over a year now.
Since I am not interested in marriage or co-habitation, this seems to be working for me for now. Nothing about it threatens my sobriety so we’ll just see how it goes.
