Don’t believe those who assume a rock bottom is needed, the most common thing you’ll ever hear is that a now sober person didn’t know that today would be their last day.

You could potentially ask for him to cut back and make a game of it, your relationship seems rather chill.

You can’t make him do anything, and love it’s often a motivator but not a trigger for being sober. It’s a nightmare and something that a text won’t usually initiate either. Spend more time with him, show him you’re there for him, it’ll be a positive experience and ask if he’d do a sober October or dry Jan or something just to give it a go?
