He's quitting

HUGE vibes coming your way - been there done that, he didn't stick with it and we lost each other.

Totally here for you - HUGE HUGE vibes!!!

I hope John can do it. My sister's husband quit for a year and has since tried drinking in moderation.

lots of good thoughts and prayers going out to you both!

Thanks everyone, the prayers mean so much!

He doesn't get violent when he drinks or anything bad like that. He just realizes that he's at a point in his life where its not important. Its more of a habit now, more than anything. I just think that after he blacked out, he realized that he is ready to stop. He doesn't like the feeling at all, and either do I, because I felt so helpless, like I couldn't do anything to make it better. But now, we're in this together, for the long haul

That is wonderful! I can't say how proud I am to hear that he has realized there could be a problem in the future and doesn't want it to happen and ruin what you 2 have! You have tons of keep it up and you can do it vibes from me to John and you!

Good for him Mackenzie. What a smart guy you have there

Good wishes and thoughts and prayers for both of you.

It is going to be tough - maybe you could have a chat with your grandpa too and figure out strategies for when things are rocky?

Good luck.

Kenz, I just caught this thread. That's terrific!!!

I hope this works out well for the both of you.!!

That's great news. Good luck!

Mackenzie.....I just found this thread. Wow! That is great news. I think it's very positive that he made the decision on his own to want to quit. I hope things go smoothly for both you & John. Good luck!

Thanks everyone

We're on our 3rd day... and no drinking! I'm so proud of him

I am soo glad to hear that. What good news!! I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers. I applaud him for taking that first step and i applaud you for being right there to support him!!
