So, just to do a slight re-cap for those who don't know what I have posted before....my husband got super drunk cops got called, our door kicked in. All while I was at work. I left him and was needing alot of support. (Which I got from all here..Thank you sooo much)
Now we are back together and he has not had any alcoholic beverage since that night. I think it's been about a month now.

He and I are getting along so well. No fighting, no negativity. I feel like I got my best friend back and it is so wonderful to actually looki forward to going home after work. Now I know that alot of the advice I recieved has suggested AA and I agree. He on the other hand has chosen to do it on his own. I must say that he is doing great and I have faith in him. I will however keep in mind ALL of the advice I have recieved. Thank you all so very much and I will continue to check in with all of you because all relationships have their problems and I believe we all need to be able to go somewhere to vent. Thank you all again and hope that if ever you need my advice I can be just as helpful.

hurtandconfused, your husband's month of sobriety is certainly a good sign, particularly if he was previously a frequent/daily drinker. I would also recommend AA. I realize that there are many reasons why he would prefer not to go to these meetings, but if alcohol is truly a problem for him [e.g. if he is a binge drinker and is simply between binges, trying to please you], he could benefit greatly from the atmosphere and support of others who know the problem from a personal prospective. Perhaps he would be willing to try a few meetings for educational purposes, i.e. if he believes that he is not alcoholic, perhaps information and experiences shared at meetings would help him to decide one way or another. Generally speaking, AA meetings are different that what one would expect. I do congratulate your husband mightily on his sobriety this past month and wish both of you the very best ~ a friend in recovery ~ billieJ
