[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694239, member: 18958"] I agree with most everybody else. I would not drink in front of him at this stage of his recovery. M the man I have lived with for 7 years is a recovering alcoholic. He had been sober for 19 years and relapsed working for man who wanted a drinking buddy. Of course there are always other reasons and M was a grown, responsible man. But it is that easy. It just takes one (fill in the blank.) M was drinking when I met him. There was one disastrous, horrible event when M had to face what he had become. He hated it. He changed. He never drank again. I used to drink. Not a lot, but I liked to drink. My drinking came to disgust M. He hated the smell. How I smelled. He never discouraged me. Never judged me. But I knew. And I rarely drink now. The only real longing I have for alcohol is when I go out to a restaurant. And M loves this for me. But in our home. No. We have a bar for visitors, but over the years I have become abstinent. Or largely so. I think this will happen to you. The respect for your child will make you identify with him and what his needs are. You will ally with that part of him. And the drinks will not be important anymore. Something that is in the margin of your life. Not the main event. I am very, very happy for you and your family. But especially, for your son. [/QUOTE]
