Blessed, when we are trying to stay in recovery and our husbands still are in their addictions it is hard to deal with. So we have to make a decision if we want to continue living this way? Waiting for them to change.
Have you been able to get involved with al-anon or coda meetings? This will give you some comfort.
And you can also just not go with your husband if he is drinking. Set some healthy boundaries for yourself and just try to stay sane.
I know when I stop hearing my boyfriend of 25 years when he is drinking alot of his mess stopped, he just could not get a rise out of me any longer. I will not listen to him when he is drinking, I just tell him to be quiet or go to bed.
Yes it is hard living with someone who drinks, but set your boundaries.
Good for you not acting out and coming here first to talk about what is going on with you. This helps so much, just to know someone is listening and understands what your going thru. I certainly do.
Hugs
