I am also working through my divorce with my AW. She has been sober since I told her that I was proceeding with the divorce. We all have the same frustration - why couldn't they have done this before? That's what makes this disease so difficult. The new found sobriety might be just a response to your action, or he may be on the path to true sobriety. Please don't feel guilty about filing for divorce - it's what you decided you needed to do. You did it to protect yourself. Once your AH determines that his "changed behavior" doesn't get you to change your mind, I would anticipate a round of the abusive behavior. Stay strong, and stay on the path. If he finds true sobriety, you can rejoin him later in life when he has been on his own and clean for some time.

Best Wishes
