05/07 How to Stay Sober
Quote From: ccandleI am 38 yrs.old. I have an alcoholic husband. My husband has realized that drinking is not the way to go. But for two years he has been sober. I only supported him. But i to was ready to leave him because of his drinking. He has had so many DUI's in his lifetime. I think that he has realized what he has done. But every day he struggles with alcohol. I am hoping that he can keep up with what he has accomplished today. Yes, we do have stress in the family. But i also feel that by supporting him and not putting alcohol in the house gives him the support he needs. But he has done all of this for himself and admitted he has alcohol problem. I also went to al-non group for support. They have taught me alot. Make sure that you try to support him if he is willing to get the help he needs. This is the best of advice. But i am still with my husband now. We have been married for 17 years. I am very lucky to have him as a husband. I am 41 and have been married for almost 20 years. My husband too has a problem with alcohol. We just got back together from a breakup due to his drinking. He realizes he has a problem but has yet tried to get help for it. He says he can quit himself. It has been just over 3 weeks since he has drank and he moved home a week and a half ago. I am willing to support him. I am going to Alanon and it is helping. I hope one day he will talk with someone. Until then I will support him the best I can.
