Hi Ukiah.
to SoberRecovery. I am glad your spouse has gotten sober. I would suggest you take a moment or two and just share with him the feelings you posted here. Tell him how it truly makes a difference and express your appreciation for his efforts. Keep it short and simple, almost like in passing. And if you can work up the courage, please try AlAnon. Because a short period of sobriety does not reflect a willingness for long term Recovery. The more you learn about the disease of alcoholism, and the more you focus on yourself and the role you play, the stronger you will become. I sincerely hope you give AlAnon some consideration. And yes, keep reading books. I suggest Codependent No More. (((hugs))) Keep reading and posting here. We are here to support you.
