Again, if he is serious about living a sober life, he shouldn't expect others to cater to him or walk on eggshells.
I know whereof I speak because I am a recovering alcoholic. I have over 12 years of sobriety and have had to deal with many ups and downs in life. If he is serious about recovery, he will have to do the same.
Thank for your thoughts…I was hoping for some input from someone in recovery! I have just been worried that it hasnt been enough time under his belt for me to tell him how bad he’s been making me feel lately. I worry it would make him feel like a piece of **** and cause a trigger.
