I'm sorry to hear that one of his character defects is getting in the way of his recovery. I suffered a great deal of pride when I first started attending Al-Anon. My husband wasn't like the rest of the losers the people in the meeting discussed. I was not at my bottom. I had a nice house. A secure job. My husband only got drunk after 6 pm, etc. etc.

He knows what he has to do. It's his choice as to whether or not he does it. Are you doing all you can for yourself? I sure hope so, because you deserve a serene and peaceful life .... regardless of his mindset or his circumstances.
