He's also using a friend of his from church for daily accountability which is something he did on a 6 month streak a while back and it really helped. He is commiting to stay sober at least and to accept some kind of help, unlike before where he was just trying to act like it wasn't that big of a deal because he wanted to Keep drinking.
I still plan on going to Al-Anon and I'm working on it in counseling each week. I'm thankful that he's at least talking openly with me about it now and I'm hopeful for his recovery.
Those are some positive signs ByHisLove, both his 3 days of sobriety and his open conversation on the subject. Sounds like you are doing a lot of good things to help yourself as well - he's a lucky guy to have someone as supportive as you around to help.
