Hi!!! I'm not sure where to begin. I am woman dating a recovering alcoholic of 12 yrs who drinks herself. I never drink around him and when I do drink it's not to get drunk. He is terrified since he moved here to Florida and left his support system of 12 yrs up north. All I wanna do is to be part of his support system here and help relieve some of his fears. I don't know how for he is extremely confusing. Please help me help him.

Hey Thanks for the reply's. He does go to meetings. A lot of them. If he's not on the road driving truck he's at a meeting. He's terrified cause he doesn't make friends very easy, does not trust and so scared that if he gets in a bad spot there's no one to catch him. I'm the first girl he has ever dated not in the program. I scared for him. His whole support system is up North. His home etc. He rents here and has nothing of his own. He's so lost and I wanna help and understand.

Threshold

In no way is his recovery or sobriety on you, but if it's not a hardship for you to not drink while you are with him, and not go out with alcohol on your breath (as in having had a drink before seeing him) I would find that sort of thing a big help.

It was frustrating to me when my bf smelled like beer.
