Hi,I'm also new to sobriety (three weeks today), and my wife is very supportive (though she is struggling with drinking, too, a bit of a different dynamic), but I do know that the only thing that has got me this far is myself, my plan, my approach. My wife supports me 100%, but it is ALL me and my plan. This sounds selfish, but its true. I love her and appreciate her support, but I was not able to even begin this journey until I realized that it does not matter what's going on around me, this is my journey, my life. So I agree strongly that your husband's plan-and the many complexities that come with keeping and maintaining a plan-- for staying sober is key. Best of luck to you guys. It warms my heart to hear of the love that you have for him.
