When my RABF first entered sobriety I had to take a serious look at this issue. I am not the alcoholic in the relationship. But if I wanted to stay in the re'ship, and be part of his recovery, then I would have to look at my own relationship with alcohol. Should I be able to meet my friends out for a cocktail after work? Sure. But if I am expecting him to learn to live in a world of "happy hour" specials, can I not do the same when he is early in his recovery? Sure.
He is only 8 days sober (maybe). He is VERY early in recovery. Is he going to AA,does he have a recovery program? Or is he just trying to stay sober? Without a true recovery program, this is a tough road. Others may disagree, but I would suggest you abstain from alcohol in these early days until he gets through the initial recovery. If you find yourself unable to do so, then you should take a look at your own relationship with alcohol. What's it worth to you. Only you can answer that.
