being sober is enough for me too. i connect here, and go on about my life as a non-drinker. no program no dwelling and discussing, 2+ years, i accept that life is better for me without booze.
white knuckling term used here is coming across as condescending from others who prefer the whole AA concept.
if that works it's great, but it is not white knuckling for some of us who are now "nondrinkers"...some folks can't tolerate peanut butter, they don't have tolerence. same with booze for me, i do not have tolerance for alcohol, makes me sick.
if your husband went to rehab, he is working the concept that has helped him, you are working concept that has helped you. agree to disagree, if you debate the subject, it might make you both very stressed?
