Welcome woa!

I hope your AH goes from strength to strength in his recovery. I am now separated from my A; he also tried the cold turkey route and as Astro said of himself for my A it only lasted a week or so every time he tried it; he tried that many times I lost count and had to get out for my sanity.

I hope you use this opportunity to work on you. I have never attended al-anon. I use this forum as a great source of information, experience and self reflection. The stickies as others have said are fabulous, mind blowing sources of knowledge! Also I read self help books and visit other web sites.

For me the biggest eye opener was realising that recovery was about me also. At first i didn't realise just how much I had been affected by this illness and just how much I was suffering, not because of what my A was doing, but because what I was doing to myself.

Good luck to you
