(((Climbing Out))) hugs to you.

I thought for the longest time my marriage would never survive my sobriety.

After all, we bonded over booze. How would we survive with me sober and him still drinking?

I had to get sober or, I was going to end up dead or in jail.

I got sober using the program of AA. I knew I had to be sober despite my other half's drinking or not.

I was advised to work on me, work on my recovery and see how things worked out. I am the eldest child of an alcoholic, I am alcoholic and I am married to a heavy drinker. I had (and still have) alot to work on. Thankfully, I have to programs of AA and Al-Anon to help me recover.

I remember being newly sober, and just hating the way my hubby acted, especially when drinking. Everything he said or did just made my skin crawl. I wondered how I would be able to stay with him.

He is working on him, he is in rehab. What are you doing for your sobriety? Look at the insanity of alcoholism, he goes to rehab to get help (which is what you wanted) and you drank. Alcoholism is truly baffling!

There is so much support here on the boards, and face to face meetings to help you.

You can do this, you can get sober.
