I will be interested to hear what others have to say. On the one hand, I feel that his recovery is just that, HIS, and your going or not going to have a few beers w/your girlfriends is not going to make him drink or not drink. On the other hand, I understand that you would consider not drinking in order to support him. Hmmmm......is he looking for support or control?
And does it matter which?
Again, I'm interested to see what advice you receive from those w/much more time and experience than I have.
