"He doesn't like being around heavy drinking now and I'd kind of be the same myself"
"My fiancé accepted he had an issue with alcohol and spent 12 weeks in a treatment centre last year."
"We made the decision afterwards that I would give up drinking too."
"I never had a problem with it, but we knew it was best for his recovery. I don't miss it at all."
My fiancé accepted he had an issue with alcohol and spent 12 weeks in a treatment centre last year. We decided afterwards that I would give up drinking as well to support his recovery. I never had a problem with alcohol personally, but I agreed it was best for his long-term sobriety. He now avoids heavy-drinking environments, and I feel similarly about being around heavy drinking. Giving up alcohol has not been difficult for me, and I do not miss drinking. Mutual abstinence has become part of the recovery process and of our shared lifestyle.
