I don't do advice, really. People don't follow advice. They do a lot better when it comes to making their own decisions based on choices, informed or emotional.

I might suggest, however, consideration of utlizing your available supports, finding new ones, if necessary, and seeking help if you think you need it. Checking out the help available even if you think you do not.

Nobody's really alone.

Unless you allow yourself to be.

Good luck to both of you.

One of the great advantages of AA is it gives you a whole new circle of friends. Some will be in the same place you are. Some will be just passed where you're going next. Many will be old hands that have been there/done that and have discovered how to live, love and laugh without "it"
You don't have to be in very long before the opportunity might arise where you can help a newbie and that will be as much benefit to you as to them.
I know quite a few members, anywhere from 4 months to 42 years sober.
It's a good thing....a very good thing.
