If you're curtailing things you want to do because of him I'd guess that eventually you'll resent him, even if he says it's fine to stay at the bar/restaurant and you insist that you'd prefer to leave. If, however, you find yourself appreciating a sort of check on your drinking then this may be a match made in heaven. I have been in relationships with heavy drinkers and near teetotalers, and have come to appreciate the latter a bit more as I have gotten older.

Exactly. I question whether I am using him as a rehab substitute for myself? Hmmmmmmmmm. Well, for now I'll just see how things go. I just cannot stomach having another person in my life relapse or die due to drug or alcohol addiction and am leery of hurting him or getting hurt by him.
