My husband said "I know you are going to relapse."

WOW, what a blow it was. He was so sure of himself, said he knows me too well and that he knows there will be a day when I relapse. He said he won't be mad, he just doesn't want me to lie about it. That has been his issue with my drinking the entire time, he didn't care I drank (to an extent), he just hated the lying. I am trying so hard to just let it go, to know that I won't, but it is so hard when someone you love and have known for 1/2 your life (we met when I was 15, got married when I was 18, I am now 30) doesn't have faith in you.

Maybe I just need to give him more time. There have been numerous failed attempts in the past, but I have never made it this far (I'm on day 19). I know he doesn't really buy into the whole AA thing (I go every day and am loving it). Honestly, I think he is as scared as I am about the prospect of me never drinking again. We have shared so many great times when we drank together, now we need to learn a new way.
