I'm sure there are people whose partner quit drinking and stayed sober. However, mine wasn't one of them.

I was stuck in that place for almost two years, even though my XAH had walked out on us. I always wanted to believe there was hope that he would stop drinking. I thought he would wake up one day, realize what he was missing and come home. Unfortunately, that never happened.

Then I woke up one day and realized that even if he did stop drinking, I wasn't willing to try with him any more. I was so tired of all of it that it didn't matter any more. He was a stranger to me.

I have come to realize that my ending is happy, even though we're not together any more. I can live my life the way I want to and he can live his. I'm not so stressed out any more and my home is peaceful.

Whether or not you decide to move on is up to you. You'll know when the time is right to make whatever decision you make.

Good luck!
