Hi Bobby! In case no one has told you yet.....

Welcome to SR!!!

I can understand your frustration. Early recovery for an alcoholic can be a confusing and frustrating time for the family as well. Sadly, even for folks who truly embrace recovery, some ideas and thought processes that they had while drinking still hang on for a while after they stop. Merely stopping the drinking is not, sadly, true recovery.

Is your hubby still going to meetings now that he is post rehab? How about you? Is there an Al-Anon group nearby for you?

Many of us here have found such support, courage, and a path forward through face-to-face Al-Anon meetings.

I hope that your husband continues to work at his recovery. Stick around! Keep posting, keep reading. It can and does get better, regardless of whether or not the A's in our lives are drinking.

Huge hugs, HG
