how do i help support my boyfriend during his attempt to stop drinking?
hello everyone! making this post is really hard, but i would love to heard some advice from others. i have been with my boyfriend for almost 6 months now. he has opened up about his past addiction to alcohol when we first started dating and there was an instance this week where he realized it might be getting worse. it’s been hard to see him this way, struggling to overcome this addiction and i have been feeling the effects of it. it’s painful, but i love him so much and want to support him.
i’m searching for advice on how to support him during this time. work has been really stressful for him recently and his trigger to drink is when he’s stressed. i’ve never dealt with this before, and it’s hard. i love him so much and don’t want to lose what a wonderful relationship we have and i am scared. how can i be a supportive partner?
