It's really not putting my sobriety in jeopardy because I don't like the drunk feeling any longer.

It's been a week now and he hasn't had a drink two nights in a row. I know now that he drinks for emotional reasons because I haven't seen any DTs or other signs of withdrawal. He drinks when he is stressed - a coping mechanism. I posted because we agreed early on in our relationship that one would not take their problems out on the other and he did just that!!

My main issue is that I feel that I am enabling him by not speaking up...
