I just met him the other day. We ate dinner the night we met. But, he drank two beers before dinner then at dinner drank three shots of hard liquor. I did not think anything about it. But, when we met he was sweating profusely saying it was hot here. He is from Michigan. He also confided in me that he had a DUI about ten years ago. I am not one to judge because I am from a dysfunctional family. He is really nice but when he left he took four beers with him which I bought for him to drink. He was supposed to stay with me for four days but left after one day because his father became sick and was hospitalized. This is true. He is with his father now taking care of him. Should I be worried? I don't know any alcoholics so he may be the first that I dated. He works at a full-time job as an engineer. However, after work he is always in a bar if I remember correctly. We have been chatting for two months. I don't know what to expect. He is so nice and may be battling alcoholism. Is there anything I can do to help? Or, should I let him battle his demons on his own? He is divorced and does not see his kids often. His ex-wife lives in the same town as he does but he has nothing to do with her. I am schizoaffective with bipolar disorder. I am not perfect either. But, I am wondering if I could help him or may be it is too late for anyone to help? Does anybody have any suggestions?
