100 days sober - oh how my life has changed!

I cannot believe I am 100 days sober now!
My life has changed so much... Never thought I would get to today... My relationship with my husband is now over... I was drinking so much to mask the issues we have!
I cannot go back to those dark days... I am trying really hard to concentrate on myself but he is still drinking and living in the same house - don't know how to change this as for financial reasons we are stuck.
His support of me stopping is non existent- he carries on as if nothing has changed but inside me my whole world has changed, if I thought 100 days ago I would be where I am now I wouldn't have believed it!
Really not sure how long I can live along side him.

Congratulations on 100 days! That's great!
Is there a plan for your husband to leave the house, or are you planning to move?

Thanks everyone - no he has no plans to move, it's been 3 weeks since I told him I wanted to end the relationship he's not taking it well as in he's not wanting to accept it.. At the moment he is in my older sons room, he is away, not sure how long I can live along side him.. He is not abusive very much the opposite 'picture with no sound' I used to be able to control his drinking and try and hide it from the kids but I can't do that anymore, the pretending that everything was ok for so long was so hard! I guess I was drinking to be on the same page as him and not accept our issues now that I can see clearly now this relationship is not what I need anymore.
My head is all over the place really!

Well done Waterwaver, into the triple digits now....congratulations...
It is true that so many things change when we get sober and sometimes that is our relationship with our spouses...I wish you well.

I know that's it, I just didn't think I'd get to this point so soon, I feel so guilty for breaking up our unit, and keep thinking why I can't just carry on with the relationship until the kids are older, they are 9 & 11. But I just can't
