He has been clean and sober for 6 months. We almost lost our apartment an have had our electric shut off for several weeks at a time do to the drug use. Things financially are getting better since his sobriety has started, but I need help. I started going to Al-Anon meetings which are helping me a lot, but I still need help. I need to understand him, and I feel like he needs to understand me. His family and his drug counselor sort of put it in my hands to be the “watchful eye” to look out ofr warning signs of a relapse. Everytime I say i am nervous about him doing something he had done while he was using it tunrs into a huge argument. I just dont know what ot do or say anymore. I have been doing everyhting I cn to be supportive but not be controlling and pushy and enabling to him. . What can I do? Someone please help me!! he and I have barely spoken for the past three days due to this argument. I am living with a recovering meth and alcohol addict. He has been clean and sober for 6 months.
