Glad to hear things are going well.

If including him doesn't help don't be afraid to switch courses. I personally have had a hard time finding a good balance of including my husband in my recovery and completely excluding him from it with the mindset of "he's done enough already by sticking with me so far". Sometimes it was like the elephant in the room.

We alcoholics are notoriously self-centered so I am wary of making our relationship all about My Recovery just the way it was dominated by my drinking.

I continue to find it uncomfortable at times (almost a year sober).
