Oh, also when my BF got home he told me about something that happened at work that I think he should be proud of. He was getting garbage together from the front of house of the restaurant and there were a few half-empty bottles of wine. He said there was a bottle of merlot that was almost full. His first thought was, "how can someone throw away a whole bottle of wine?" Then he thought, "wow, that's what normal drinkers do." His manager is really cool and knows about his alcoholism and he talked to him about it. He said he thought about the past and how he would've taken the wine and hid it somewhere to drink it later. He said he has no desire to live like that anymore and wants to be honest with himself and others.

I am very proud of him for being open and honest and dealing with his issues in a mature way. It's a big deal that he talked to his manager about it and said he was fine with it because he thought it through before acting out old patterns. It's pretty cool.
