Does he resent it?
Occasionally my AH, currently sober 6 weeks, may buy me a drink if we go out to dinner--I don't ask for one. I don't drink in front of him at home. My counselor says it's his way of projecting his desire to drink by bringing me alcohol and that he may actually resent me because I can drink socially and he cant. Seems to me he is trying to please me, or doesn't want me to resent him because he knows I enjoy a cocktail once in a while. Any thoughts on this?

I don't have much insight as to why he does it (but the counselor probably has good insight), but it would make me uncomfortable. I think it would be best to totally abstain from alcohol while in the presence of a recovering alcoholic. Maybe when you're together you can focus on and participat in activities that keep you away from the shadow of alcohol. JMHO
