Thanks for your insight, Valeska. I know that you're right, overcoming the addiction has to be something he wants to fix and come to that conclusion on his own, otherwise we're never going to get anywhere. I know he knows his drinking tendencies are a problem, he's admitted as such before. Yet, there have not really been any action steps taken to correct that. I still have a glimmer of hope that he will reach this conclusion now that he's moved out and on his own, but only time will tell. I am treading cautiously, fighting like heck to detach, and also leaning heavily on my support system for now.
