When he said he doesn't want you lying about it you mean saying you've quit? Or lying about something else like hiding it when you drink? If it's the former, it would really **** me off personally. He should be encouraging and supporting you, not undermining your attempt at sobriety. Who cares if you've been down this path before, every day sober helps you. I suspect he feels threatened by your becoming sober. Does he drink in front of you also?
