Hello! I'm new to the community. I have been moving toward sobriety for over a year. My alcohol use just built steadily over many years to the point where I was drinking 2-4 drinks per night with no break.

I have had 2, 3, and 4-month periods of abstaining from alcohol this year. Then, I go back to it for a few weeks, and then start the streak again. At this point, I'm just ready to be "done." I can do it, but I want to be part of this community to stay accountable.

The biggest issue: my husband will continue to drink, and I have to deal with it. I know there have been a lot of posts about this in the past...I'm trying some of the strategies.

Thanks!

I know how you feel my partners drinking while I’m trying to stop. I know I say it’s ok because I think I’m strong but I never am

Yeah, I just know he has to come to sobriety on his own terms. I don't think I can convince him. He already thinks I'm a "health nut."

Welcome! I’m new too and it feels so good. My fiancé drinks as well and I think the thing that helped me was remembering that not everyone’s journey is similar to mine and not everyone handles there alcohol the same. For me, it’s not the best option but for him, he’s totally fine :pray:t3: hope that helps
