Did he really break a promise ?
Your first post says that you told him it was ok for him to drink.
Anger, frustration and resentment are all normal for us and our alcoholic minds find it easily to distort the truth. There is nothing more our diseased mind likes than a big old resentment to drink on. From the Big Book "resentment is our number one offender". Working the Steps helps us to see the
truth.
Your husband has no idea what you are going through so he has no why you would need a fanfare or why not drinking would even deserve one.
You'll get a big one from us. You have done really well. Better to express your feelings here than drink on them. Well done.
