But, I really hope that if you stay AF, and convince your partner that you are serious about staying AF, he will reconsider. You deserve a happy life with him, and I wish you all the best. Good luck on Day 2 - stay strong, and don't take that first drink: we all know there is no such thing as only one drink.

I hope that he does reconsider, but I fear too much damage has been done now. I'll just have to hang in there and see what happens over the next few days. I've came over to stay at my dads to give him space to think. Just need to fend off the ever present urge to grab solace in a bottle xxx

JJ, well done for recognising that you need to address your drinking again. its clear from your post that your wonderful 7months sober were in fact just that... wonderful. keep this in mind when you have bad days of anxiety wanting to reach for the bottle. just keep focused on that goal. regardless of the situation in your marriage just remember THIS IS FOR YOU, YOU ARE DOING THIS SO YOU CAN LEAD A PEACEFUL HAPPY CONTENTED SANE SOBER LIFE. you've proved you can do this and your sound strong enough to do it again.

JJ....look in my experience nothing's ever black & white and the dynamics between 2 people r different with every couple. Right now, this second u need to get a few days drink free (as u already know & have done!) things will work out whichever way they're meant but the main thing rite now is to not have another drink! Ur recent past behaviour is only a snap shot in your whole life. U can get through this and when you're stronger & ur more able u can make ur future whatever you choose & u can fight then. Try not to be uber hard on yourself rite now (u'll have plenty of time for that when ur stronger )
