Speaking as a recovering alcoholic, if he doesn't want to quit, he won't. At best he'll hide it from you. Do you actually know whether or not he's drinking? FWIW, anxiety is a symptom of alcohol abuse and withdrawal, and it can take a long time for it to fade, especially if you've abused and then relapsed before. You don't go to rehab and then come back perfectly normal. I found it helpful to get back into hobbies that I'd stopped as drinking took over, like working out, writing and reading, anything works. If you're used to spending your free time getting drunk then it's hard to find other ways to fulfill that time without giving your brain a chemical kick. I only drank hard for a year and a half, ended up in the emergency room with a possibly-lethal BAC. By a few days after I was feeling good enough to start living normally, (I was tired and anxious but more or less functional), but it takes a lot longer for you to feel 100%. If you're a career alcoholic and end up in rehab for an extended period I can only imagine the time it takes is even longer. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 22:34 on May 20, 2017 |
