Yep. I honestly disagree completely with discussing your contingency plans with the person who may create the situation requiring such a thing. It's illogical, especially with the unpredictability of addiction.

This is why, IMO, separate recoveries are necessary - what is good for one is not necessarily understood by the other. No way he sees this as trust BUILDING on his side - the entire situation exists because you can't trust him to stay sober & therefore need a Plan B. How else can he hear that, at less than 90 days sober? And it IS exactly what you mean, right?

Does your counselor specialize in addictions?
