My husband has been sober for a month and a half now. Before he came home from the facility (28 day program) he asked me to get rid of the alcohol. I already had done that and he was very appreciative and impressed that I'd thought of that on my own. I did a lot of reading on the subject while he was gone and still do. It helped me prepare as much as possible before he got home.
I agree with talking to your AH about it. Include him in the decision.
