I need to stop now!
It will not happen until you stop lying. To yourself mostly. This is not a problem about your husband. In my opinion, we cannot quit until we stop making up excuses and face this is only down to us.

Nothing happening to you is forcing you to drink. The addiction is driving you to drink. Further in you get, more difficult is to dig yourself out. You are digging your own hole. Nobody else is doing that.

Your husband has every right to be angry/detached/whatever. It is a miracle he is sticking around.

You did not tell the truth about sobriety and your are not telling the truth about your benzos' intake either. Normal people don't have Xanax and similar around. They need a prescription and very clear instructions on how to use the medicines.

'Normal' doctors don't prescribe those lightly and are particularly careful when an alcohol addict is reaching out for them.

Please do your best to stop the lies and then seek help.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IT.
No one wants to hear it.
None of us want to act on it.

But, ultimately, that's the bottom line to have a prayer in whatever hell you believe in (or don't, but will likely find living like we did) of getting sober, then well.

Thanks for asking, today was my Day 1. Yesterday husband had a work function in the evening, and I used the “free” time to drink again.
now Day 1 is over, I’m already in bed and hope to get a good nights sleep. Today the anxiety was sky high, but I managed.
hope for a better day tomorrow..

I hope that for you too
Have you given any thought to the kinds of things you might do to stay sober?
