Awesome! 1st of june 2012 was when I could celebrate my one year sober mark. I started eating healthy and working out about one month ago, also to get my body to look and feel good again. Might have to try that insanity thing!

I am a wife of an Alcoholic
Congratulations, Ryan! I am very impressed with your success during your first year of sobriety and I wish you many more!
I am new at this blog but I have read many posts through my husband’s account.
I hope that this is the right place for me to look for advice.
I am not an alcoholic. (I not even addicted to anything). But my husband is…
He himself (Sudz No More) had written many great and inspirational posts when he is not drunk. He has been trying to quit drinking for about 2 years now. There are times when he does very well, but there are times when nothing can stop him from going to the store and buying beer.
We met on-line about 11 years ago and have been married for over 8 years now. The fact that I am from a different country didn’t give us the opportunity to know everything about each other. I didn’t know that he was an Alcoholic, and he didn’t know that I have grown to hate Alcohol. (I was still a child when my mother was attacked and almost killed by her own brother and cousin on a night when both of them got too drunk and invaded our house.)
I am torn between the love I have for my husband and the hate I have for the alcohol. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with it. The alcohol kills not only my husband. It kills me too slowly but surely. Sometimes I feel like a bird in a cage – hopeless and helpless, because I am not sure that my husband really wants to quit drinking… Sometimes I feel like an injured animal and become angry at him because I think that he doesn’t care and doesn’t think about me when he decides to drink.
I don’t know what to do anymore… I need help and advice from people that have dealt with the alcohol problem successfully. Ryan, if you can, please help!

Congrats
