I will say, I am not the one pushing him not to drink. I cannot control or cure him. What I have asked him is to close the distance. Because he cannot afford his bills, he has to move anyway, and I want to be with him. Do I *like* the alcohol? Of course not. I am not going to enable him. But I am not the one pushing him to quit. That is his choice and his choice alone. My push was simply that we are in the same location.
