[quote=Anonymous]I went through a very similar situation. Three years later, my husband has successfully found a treatment that works with his mental health(mental health is often also an issue) and spent some time in rehab for mental health/alcohol abuse. He is coming up on his one year sober-versary, and I am newly pregnant. I understand the risk of relapse but I am incredibly proud of all of the time he has put into his sobriety. I thought about leaving, but I chose to stay, understanding that relapses will happen, but you don’t forget everything you’ve learned along the way in recovery. We’ve both had family with alcohol and mental health issues who self medicated their entire lives, and we hope that we can forge a different way with our own little family, through honesty and compassion regarding theses challenges and our kids’ genetic predispositions.

If your husband is able to moderate successfully, great, if he’s not, know that it may be a long road, but help is available and sobriety is possible. I’ve also cut down on my own drinking, which has helped me be happier and healthier. You’re in my prayers![/quote]
