Don't drink to please your husband. You need to protect your sobriety and make it your main goal.

I'm only on day 3, but I, too, worry about my relationship with my husband in my sobriety. We have been enjoying drinking together for 21 years and now things will be different. He can have one or two drinks and stop. I don't expect him to stop drinking because I am. But I am nervous about our relationship changing due to this as our marriage has been under duress for the past couple years, and we are finally getting into a better place.

I guess I'm not giving an opinion, I think I am interested in what others have to say about this topic as well.

I do know (as one of my previous counselors pounded into my head) that sobriety is your main goal and you should do everything you can to protect it, even if it seems like your being selfish. It's a very good reason to be selfish.
