I agree with many of the posters here and your husband sounds no different than mine. When he would start on the recovery path, he would try everything in the book to *poorly* hide what he was up to. Ooooh, I could tell you some Stories! But I'll repeat was some people said here. He is an addict. Accept him for what he is. He truly HAS NO CONTROL over his situation. He Will lie. The sooner you are able to accept him, the less angry you will be. Think of him however you want to to understand this. A kid, a zombie, a virus - I've used all of these analogies. Also know that the drinking man and the sober man ARE THE SAME PERSON. There is no *good husband/bad husband*, just addict husband. You also need to come to your realizations in your own time.
