I am glad you posted. Your Aunt is doing great. Don't worry about what her partner does or does not do. Once she makes her decision not to drink, it is all about her. My husband used to get drunk every night till this last July, and then he quit drinking whiskey and now just drinks beer. It is better now, and maybe one day he will quit. It has not stopped me from not drinking or made me want to drink. I know how much better life is without alcohol. She can do this. It is not an easy journey, but it is so worth it.
