The little voice inside keeps trying to tell me I'll not be living, never experience fun or pleasure without booze, won't be able to function in society or have a full life.
I completely relate to this. Congrats on 2 weeks! I really thought I'd never have any fun again but the truth was that the last few years of drinking was really no fun for me at all. I was really just a shell, unable to relate to other people and barely holding down my job.

AA has really helped me on a lot of levels. I found that after I stopped drinking, I had to learn how to manage living and deal with all the problems that I drowned out with alcohol.

Life is very good now. It's great that your husband wants to quit too - so nice to both be on the same page.
