Gettingby, I understand everything you said. At one point I was there. Consumed with the fact that I felt he was slowly killing the man I loved. Luckily, we don't live together, so I have the choice not to be around when he drank and that's exactly what I choose to do. When he drinks, I go home or spend time with two young girls I mentor. He doesn't understand what all the fuss is about but I can tell you, he's been stone cold sober for two days. Of course day one was hell.

His sister is making the same choice. The last time he drank, he was sitting at the house alone (I live next door). I peeked in on him unknowingly and knew that he was thinking about being alone and why. I wanted to go to him but knew that would defeat the purpose.

I know that two days don't make a recovery but it is a start. Today, I'll just hope that tonight he decides to stay sober and worry about tomorrow when it comes...maybe. I have told him that if he chooses to drink... he chooses to do it alone.
