My husband still drinks too Noceila. In the beginning of my recovery it was terribly difficult for me to not drink, while continuing to watch him destroy himself. Like you, I felt that my husband was my biggest trigger. I began working on myself and detaching from my DH whenever he was drinking. Eventually, I set boundaries with him. No more drinking at home. I explained to him that my sobriety was more important to me than anything else and I expected that he would respect me by keeping alcohol away from me. He agreed and now, if he wants a drink, he goes out.

Hang in there, things will get better the more time you have behind you.
