Stubborn, you are probably feeling raked over the coals here and I can see why. I think most folks are taking the fact that you said "for now it's recovery" when there isn't any yet. They are just words.....possibly manipulative ones.
I don't see any recovery on your h's part. In fact you have been pretty hard on folks here for believing what you would like to believe now.
I am not being judgemental but after my h's suicide attempt he even said he was going to be an example of recovery to other struggling alcoholics. Can you hear me laughing??? That didn't happen and my AH is back to drinking in a big way.
I would want to see some ACTION before I believed a word he says. You deserve it and so do your kids.
