Nikki:
I want to make sure that you didn't misunderstand my previous post.
I agree with everyone that the alcoholics recovery is their fight. However, my recovery as a his wife is my responsibility. I have to work my steps in order for the family to recover from the disaray our life was in before he entered recovery.
What choices my AH makes are his own. I can't make him stop drinking or stay sober. I can however control my reaction to any relapse he may or may not have.
Please do enjoy this time. It will allow you to build a foundation of hope, just remember to be diligent in your recovery as well.
