I have been sober and smoke free for exactly 26 months. My wife and I have had a very rocky relationship for all of it. We got along better when I was drunk. I have thought very seariously about walking away from everything. We have been married for 36 years. It is very hard to even think about it. Even after the time I have invested in being sober I have strong urges to just go ut and get drunk. I'm at a loss.

You know drinking isn't going to solve or help any of your problems or you would have drank at some point..I would recommend turning to a higher power."What we can't do for our selfs,God will do for us".This much I know to be true.

After I had been sober for some time my husband freaked out and yelled, "I wish you'd go back to drinking, at least I understood that!". Hee hee.
I didn't need him to do all the co-dependant things he used to do for me. Field my phone calls, clean up my disasters....etc. He was afraid I wouldn't need him anymore.
I have also found out the hard way that there is no problem so big that a drink can't make even worse. Hang in there.
