Hey Denise, That was a brave thing you did. As far as the comment from your husband. Although difficult let it go. I don't know the history but, my wife said some mean things to me when I returned to AA after a slip. Sometimes loved ones will put so much hope in you going to AA, that they will blame AA for it not working. Until they see a change they'll protect there hopes getting washed away by being hurtful. Of course, you need to judge which is the case. What I suggested or he's a jerk.
There are also some cases loved ones don't want you to get better because they lose control. The thought of us all of a sudden wanting to be part of the decision making scares them. You must think of you a stay the course. Not, everybody stays together in recovery but, you don't need to let someone punish you for having an illness. I would explain to him that you need support and encouragement in recovery.
If he can't do that atleast don't be hurtfull and discouraging. We are here to support and help you. Don W
