Sorry that you going through this and your husband isn't more supportive. I was lucky as my husband saw it as a disease that I had inherited. It definitely wasn't a choice to become an alcoholic. I've been sober for a few years and life is so much better without putting that toxic crap in my system. Good luck on your sober journey.

Thanks! Needless to say, I've been poked, prodded, and all else by the hour. I've seen so many doctors. I imagined going to my primary and trying to hide the worst of it, and now it's all out on the table.
