Husband doesn't want me to quit drinking

I have not had a drink in 19 days. My husband is not happy. He is a normal drinker & wants me to have 1 or 2 on occassion. He's always wanted me to drink on his schedule. I can do it with effort but I just really don't want to anymore. Also, I sometimes fail & drink more then I intend to. I never want to have another hangover! I also am so liking being able to sleep soundly, which I don't with even 1 drink.

I wish I never would have told him I quit. I could have been a closet non-drinker. I also realize if I forget my reasons for quitting, I'll use this as rationalization for drinking (better for relationship, no one thinks I have a problem etc.).

He admits it's selfish of him but says he can't help but feel he's giving up something & I do see his point. I told him I'm much happier, feel physically better, & am more optimistic.

He won't push it so I don't need advice on that but was wondering if anyone else had experienced this & how it turned out.
