Just the fact an addict/alcoholic WANTS to get help should be celebrated. Not roll your eyes and live your lives.
No where has the OP stated her alcoholic husband wants to get help, never mind actually gets help and follow through with it sustainably over years, and we have a saying around here nothing changes if nothing changes. Am not seeing anything to celebrate. We also didn't cause it, cannot control it and cannot cure it so I don't agree that spouses should have any role in their husband or wifes recovery process.
