Supporting my Fiancee

My first post EVER!

I'm not the addict though, my fiancée is. My fiancée decided a few days ago to go to rehab for substance abuse. I am extremely proud of him! It is something we truly needed him to do before we could have a wonderful life together. And he needed this because the lifestyle he was living was going to either end up with him in jail or dead.

Luckily, he is only 22. At least he has decided to do this willingly now and can have the rest of his life to be clean and sober.

I know he's getting better so I only want to support his recovery in every way but sometimes I worry I might not be saying the right things. I wish I could go to the meetings with the therapist to learn these things but since I'm not family yet, I can't.

Is there any advice I should know on how to talk to him so he sticks with the program (because it is voluntary)? Or any websites that could tell me that kind of stuff, plus the type of things I should avoid in a conversation?


Thank you in advance!!!
