What was the final tipping point for you to go? Were you working your program enough to not feel guilt about abandoning him or her when he/she was in recovery?

I'm struggling with the "he's working on stuff but isn't really into it" stuff in my brain and could use some experience stories about it all ...

Quick backstory for those who don't know it ... married 8.5 months, he was drinking before we got married but denial is a beautiful thing. Went into rehab in February. Has had some improvements, but is generally not working his program/not looking for a job (so he's not supporting our family). We still live together -- house is in his name. Essentially a roommate situation. He also has a 10-year-old daughter that I am dealing with the guilt of leaving ... love her. Second divorce for her dad in her young life.

Thanks. And if this has been answered before, happy to be referred to the specific thread and then I can remove this.
