HELLO!
This is wonderful news about your husbands sobriety. It is good to hear that he is attending AA and working a program to recover from active alcoholism.

I do think your feelings are normal and should be acknowledged. Its not abnormal for one spouse to feel resentful or jealous of the time that their spouse is spending away from the home. That being said, it is very important for you to find your own tools as well. You could join ALANON as a step or take up a hobby that you have always wanted to start.

Meetings only last an hour. So....90 minutes tops. To and from.

Recovery from Alcoholism is very hard and the more support your husband can get the better. There will be a balance that the two of you will find. Give it some time to level out. You may find that you are actually enjoying your free time just to be you. Not spouse. Just you.
