This too shall pass...
(Feel free to e-punch me in the face for that; I know any time somebody tosses a slogan my way when I'm irritated I feel like it sometimes)
Has your husband ever considered trying something like Alanon or CoDA?

Congrats on your sober time!
It's been over a month for me, and this demon shows up still. Some times it's random. Maybe it's just too much of a change all at once for your husband? I mean, some of us stop drinking and then all kinds of things in our lives change. Just don't stop taking care of yourself for someone else, I don't know what to say.

Hi Sampar,
I think you just need to focus on your recovery. Your husband is on his path, and you can't change his thinking. It's really hard for others to understand addiction and recovery, so that's why it's good to come here and read and post. I think that your husband probably sees you changing and that's something he is afraid of. You just need to stay focused on you.
