Spook,
It takes a strong non drinking person to date a heavy drinker.
But, you get front row seats, as the sober one, on the negative effects of booze.
If you are looking long term, you might save this person.s life.
Them seeing you live a quality life might change them.
That is part of how I stay sober. Sober role models.
But, we all know..they can only change themselves.
If anyone knows how to deal w a drunk, it is an ex drunk.
That has some merrit. But, do you like the person enough to risk all the frustration and suffering you will likely face?
Thanks.
