I never understood the fascination of bars even when I was drinking. My partner supported me initially but ended up very resentful of me quitting drinking. He even went as far to say that he wished I would start drinking again because he didn't like the sober "me". It got so nasty, we ended up splitting up. We just had completely different lifestyles and our communication went down the tubes. It's hard to talk to a drunk when you are sober. It's annoying, actually. But I wasn't about to give up my sobriety to "save" our relationship. Not in a million years, not for no one! Wishing you the best of luck!
