Thanks Sober Recovery
I have been a member of this forum for years. I’ve gotten some wonderful advice, advice that kept my head above water and saved my sanity many times. I am still with my husband though and the alcoholism as everyone has said on this forum gets worse. It is worse now, so bad. While I could push down my feelings before, I am so unable to now. What I am rambling about is, when it is time to leave “YOU KNOW”. It is so hard for me to stay now. Almost every waking moment in my head I hear, it is time to leave. So dear sober recovery friends, I am doing just that. I’ll see a lawyer this afternoon, and find an apartment. My goal is September 7th, my birthday, my freedom day. I will be 38 years old and have 20 years of living with this dysfunction. But no more. The house, well, I’ll have to force him to sell, his alcoholic mother – his problem, tired of dealing with all her drama. He can fight, do whatever he wants. I just want to be free. I choose myself. Thanks Sober Recovery.

God bless you as your begin your new journey.
From my experince, I felt ever so much better within a very short period of time after leaving my AH. Its only been a bit more than 2 weeks but the peace I feel is very real and continues to grow.
I hope everything goes well with your planning and moving.

Thanks for your post. I have been waivering myself, not sure whether to leave or go etc. I am glad to here that at some point I will have the conviction that you do. I did it once before and left, but I stupidly thought it would be different since he had stopped drinking back then. But here we are again! Thanks so much for sharing. I hope it all goes smoothly for you...I know that you deserve it!
