[quote=Anonymous]He has been struggling and working so hard on the addiction.   He was taking Ativan for 10 years for anxiety and drinking heavily, periodically.   The addictions all became obvious about a year ago and he started getting help 6 months ago.  It has been very painful realizing the lies and omission that have been going on for years.

He slipped up and started drinking 4 months ago, but had been doing very well since.  And now I found out he was drinking again, maybe just the past 2 nights.  He does it later and I go to sleep early, so I miss the signs sometimes.  But tonight, it was the slurred speech and off balance walk.  He denied and said it was due to the anxiety medications (same old excuse).  but then I found the vodka.

It just causes so much pain to go through this again.  The lies and then working on the trust, only to be lied to again.

On top of this, he has been underemployed/unemployed almost 2 years.   And we have 2 elementary age school kids.

I am so tired and sad about this and want divorce.  But I feel horrible still wanting to leave him and divorce is too hard--financially and emotionally.   Life really sucks right now.  I love him, but feel this relationship is too hard.  But the alternative of divorce is likely harder.[/quote]
