I am posting in lieu of my wife. I'm new into recovery- coming on 4 months. The last ten years has been nothing but chaos becuase of my alcoholism. I'm getting better, stronger - able to function and be predictable.

Here's the dilemma. Her friends are telling her how great I'm doing, her parents are telling her how proud they are of me. She's getting nothing about what a great job she did working to get us to this point. She feels completely left out of the equation. When she deserves as much credit as I do. She enabled me to cover up embarassment to friends and family. I just had to not be obnoxious and show that I was drunk.

Are there any posts or books that address the spouce of the recovering alcoholic? She's jeolous because I get to meet people, get coins, get praise, get to talk about my feelings.

She's currently very anti-Alanon so I'm thinking a good book would be a nice start.

THanks,
SPG
