I met my husband at a black jack table in a casino! We had alot of common interests and got along right from the get go. He told me he was a recovering alcoholic and hadn't had a drink in 18 years. We got involved quickly and were married 6 months after our first date. The first two years were great and then he started relapsing. He is a binge drinker and the binges kept getting closer together and each one caused more pain and damage than the one before. I also found out that he had been sober off and on for 18 years. Should have taken more time to learn more about his past instead of just believing him. I was 50 when I met him so I really should have been smart enough to see through the lies but I guess I wanted to believe him. I got smart enough a year ago when I left!
