The decision to quit drinking alcohol is a personal one that would require a bunch of changes in one’s life to achieve. But there are also many benefits the decision can have on your health.
OP’s husband is making significant progress! He’s been sober for four months and going strong. The level of discipline and commitment needed to achieve a goal is underrated sometimes.
So, OP and her husband want to have barbecues with their friends soon. For someone on the journey to quit alcohol, a gathering like this, with a high chance of alcohol being present, looks like a terrible idea.
It’s important to note that in a bid to be more disciplined, OP and her husband decided on a rule the first time he stopped drinking. Although her husband brought up the idea, she wants to implement it now, and she’s worried it might make her look bad.
No More Alcohol
Know the saying, desperate time calls for desperate measures? OP and her husband decided to place a ban on alcohol in their home. She now wants to implement the rule for future purposes, although she said she hasn’t spoken to him.
He has been making great progress for the past four months, but he still has a long way to go, which is why putting him in a barbeque with friends and alcohol right in front of him might be the definition of temptation.
