Hello everyone,

I am seeking advice on living with my husband, a recovering alcoholic. I recently started therapy at Kaiser Hospital to focus on myself (emotionally & physically). My husband has gotten too close to a female in his Celebrate Recovery group but insists they are only friends and she is one of twenty people in the support group. He has never given me a reason to mistrust him, however, now that I am experiencing his sobriety, I am feeling very insecure.

Hi and welcome Doggieluver
I know you'll find support and understanding here.

I'm glad you're looking after your own needs - early recovery is a time of great upheaval and change, both for the addict and the loved ones...

If you think he's gotten 'too close' to this other woman, have you talked to him about it and how it makes you feel?

Welcome to the Forum Doggieluver!!

The important thing when looking in on addiction, is to get support for yourself, great job on already doing that.

You'll also finds loads of support here on SR!!

Yes, I have talked to my husband about the woman. At first, I didn't believe that she is just a friend in his support group. However, as time has gone by, I don't feel threatened by her any longer. I did tell him that he is an adult and is responsible for his actions and that I don't have time or the need to spy on him or her.
