How do I encourage my partner not to drink during our holiday together?
I need advice on how to suggest/remind my partner not to drink.
My partner is a recovering addict. He's dealing with a lot mentally thats pushing him to cope with substances. I'd say he's high functioning because he can go to work regularly and isn't always on them everyday, but once he takes one drink or does one line there's no way to tell what he'll do or when he'll stop.
Next week we're going on a holiday together and he wants to go to a beach club to celebrate his birthday. There's usually a minimum spend for places like that and an easy way to cover the minimum spend is to buy alcohol. I've told him I won't be drinking and we can just get lots of food throughout the day, but he's given no indication he won't be drinking. I just want to remind him to try not to drink that day if he can afford to but don't know how to do it in a delicate and encouraging way.
He's told me before that his end goal is to be sober and I know he's taken many steps and put a lot of effort in his recovery. I don't want this to be a setback to his recovery but I don't want to offend him by bringing it up either. Any suggestions on what to say?
