Hi Everyone!! I've been reading posts now for over a month now and I really like feeling like I'm not alone in this. My problem seems to be a little different than most I have read about. I have been married to an alcoholic for almost 15 years. After many failed attempts to quit on his own he joined AA 3 weeks ago and has not been drinking. I've prayed for this for so long but I haven't been able to enjoy it like I thought I would. After each time he went back to drinking I would be so disappointed and to be honest I would cry like a baby. It's hard for me to let go of the fear I have that this won't last. Part of this comes from the fact that he quit to save our marriage. If his drinking wasn't such a problem for me he most likely would still be drinking. Question! Is this quiting for the wrong reason? I wish I could let go of this and enjoy it! Thanks Kerry
