The Tears Won't Stop
I am saddened with a heavy heart because at this point, my husband who was an excellent provider for and to me and a helper to anyone in need has gone back to heavy drinking after 16 years of sobriety. I feel so utterly and deeply helpless and without hope of him ever recovering.
I'm feeling like my husband doesn't want to stop yet. There is much deception and sneaking quietly into another part of our home to do his drinking.
I apologize for going overboard with...In just typing these words seem to give me a sense of relief.

I'm very sorry for your situation.
I hope you can find some peace. Do you use AlAnon as a support for yourself?
Also, if you like, we have a forum for Friends & Families of Alcoholics on this message board and you will find lots of support.

I agree with the last two posts that you should try al-anon. I'm very sorry for your situation and its ok to feel what you're feeling, but its your husbands responsibility to seek help. Its your responsibilty to take care of yourself.

I'm sorry for what you and your husband are going through. You are both suffering.
I wanted to share with you that in my AA home group there are two great men who each had wicked relapses after long term sobriety. One nearly 17 years. Both are now several years sober again and living great lives.
Don't lose hope and faith

I'm very glad you found us - I do think it will help lessen your anxiety to share what you're going through. I've gone through it too, long ago, and I know how heartsick you feel. You're among friends who understand - I hope you'll stay with us.
While I agree that everyone is responsible for their own sobriety, if he had 16 years sober time I hope you can at least talk to him. There's a lot at stake for you both, so hopefully you can help jar him into seeing his problem for what it is.
