With no recovery, the behaviors will not change, and he is still drinking, he's not clean.
Have you looked into any Alanon or Naranon meetings in your area?
Remember, you didn't cause it, you can't control it and you can't cure it - BUT you can take care of YOU!

I'm sorry it's still not working, Lesa, please take good care of yourself and know that you don't have to tolerate his behaviour.
Post and tell us how you are doing, I miss you around here.

I had a year clean of crack, too, but I wasn't in recovery...I was just clean. After I relapsed, I decided to try out recovery, and it has been a MUCH better year! Life isn't perfect, I still have issues to deal with, but I'm dealing with them.
When I was just staying clean, I was pretty angry at not being able to use.
The others are right, though...you can't control him or what he does, but you can go after what YOU want in life and put your focus back on you.
Hugs and prayers!

My AH was clean for about 7-8 months and then started smoking pot. Almost as soon as he started smoking pot he became a totally different person. I have found that it doesn't matter what type of foreign substance he puts into his body it all creates a mess! I have also found that until HE realizes that he cannot do ANY type of drug, there is not much I can do but take care of me. Good luck to you, keep your head up.
