You are right about the slippery slope. It is a slippery slope to have expectations on others. It tends to make your sobriety conditional on someone else which can be a recipe for disaster.

In my early sobriety, like the first few days, my family offered to stop drinking in support and remove all alcohol from the house. My reply was

"Well, they are not the one with the problem. I don't know why the whole family should suffer" Almost the same words, except I was putting no expectations on anyone else about my recovery. As far as I was concerned, they could carry on as usual because I knew that whatever they did need have no bearing whatsoever on whether or not I got sober. It was my problem, not theirs.
