Hi Jaffa - I just wanted to say that I think you're doing extremely well to stay sober and deal with your husband's drinking and depression.

I think when we decide to get sober, we have to do everything we can to protect that sobriety. It feels selfish sometimes, but after all, we're saving our lives and our health. If you were a diabetic, it wouldn't seem unreasonable to not have sugary sweets in the house. It's possible your husband is resentful because he doesn't really want to stop. Do what you need to do for you and stick to the agreement you made with him.

I hope he comes to see that it's the best thing for both of you. And yeah, depression can't be treated as long as alcohol is involved. Hang in there.....
