Yeah right. It just made me feel worse because I did not have anyone there AND i was sober 
Ditto with the rest of it. I quit smoking ganja at the same time. She actually started drinking once I quit (she never drank before) |
I had a father-in-law that gave up drinking almost 20 years ago because it had cost him everything. In the end he was a much better man for it. You may have went through DTs when you quit.
If you end in a divorce then you don't want the baggage of alcoholism, and if the marriage is fixable then it can get in the way too.
I understand that it is a short term solution to mask the problems but in the end those problems are still there.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope you let us know how each step goes.
Remember we are here for you too.
