LonerGirl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm dating a guy that admits he is an alcoholic. For the about the past year he has not drank as much as he used to. He used to be pretty bad and would drink everyday, but he really wants to focus on sobriety now. We have only been dating for a month and I've only seen him drunk once. My question is how do I tell him that I want to be supportive of his sobriety? I don't drink and never have so I can't completely understand what goes through his head when he wants a drink, but I want him to know that I'm there for him. Sometimes he gets in a mood where he could just start drinking and not stop, but lately when he's been like that he would hang out with me and just chill or watch movies on my computer while I study. In a few months is his brother's birthday and we are supposed to go out. They are going to drink and I'm going to be the one driving. However, sometimes he asks me if I think it is okay that him and his brother decided that they would only drink on their birthdays? I'm not sure what to tell him. He wants to be sober so I don't think he should drink at all, but I'm not sure if I am in the position where I can give him that advice. Wondering what anyone who was dealing with an addiction thought about this? Link to post Share on other sites
