First post to reddit. Hi all, I live with my SO and he has recently slipped up a few times with alcohol in the past week or so. He has opened up to me within hours after having the drink - which I admire and appreciate from him. I am recovered from a multiple year long battle with an eating disorder so I understand the struggle with mental illness, addiction, and self destructive behaviors - so I feel like I can be emotionally supportive to him. But I wanted to ask for advice on more logistical support ideas. 1. Should I stop keeping wine in our apartment? 2. Should I avoid drinking around him when we go out with friends or have a nice dinner? 3. I work at a tap house, should I not talk about the beers at the restaurant? 4. Should I keep sodas stocked in the refrigerator? I am familiar with the concept of certain things being triggering so I am wondering if these sorts of things might be triggering for him.
Thank you all and best wishes.
