Welcome!
It's common that our spouse's don't understand what we are going through. And, that's a reason to be here because we do understand.
Congratulations on 19 days of sobriety. Do you have a plan in mind to help keep you sober?

As soberwolf and Anna mentioned, a Plan is so vital to success.
Here is a link to a fantastic SR thread regarding the importance of a plan:

Good to meet you, erlovele. 19 days is wonderful.
I know what you mean about your husband not understanding. I really think it's impossible for those who are normal drinkers. Being here helped ease my anxiety.
