Anyone get what i'm feeling? Any advice on pushing through it?
Oh, yeah. Check out the chapters in the Big Book, "To Wives" and "The Family Afterward." You can read them online here: To Wives; The Family Afterward. Do your best to overlook the dated and sexist language--it was written in the 1930s.

Al-Anon will help a whole lot to keep the focus on YOU, rather than what HE is doing. You're still very early on--both of you. It will get better.

Early sobriety is a huge adjustment for everybody.
