Tricia....welcome here to SR.....pull up a chair and read and relax....just breathe.....I was married to an alcoholic for 22 yrs and one day he just up and left the kids and I for another female alcoholic/addict. If you click on any of our names you can read our histories if you want to. I just hate it when I see someone who has JUST met an alcoholic and falls hopelessly in love with them so fast.....just remember one thing hun....IT NEVER GETS BETTER THAN COURTSHIP. The best predictor of what the future holds is what was done in the past. It does sound like he is embracing sobriety but he could be putting on a show too. Soooo many of them go into a 72 hour facility with absolutely no intentions of quitting for good....they only did it to please their codependent spouse or significant other. Stand strong and create many boundaries....
