I first got clean & Sober in 1994 and I had just me and two small children to take care of. I worked the program and fell in love got married at 4 years sober & we stayed sober until 2019 now we are trying to get clean again, my problem and difficulty is how do I do it with a partner? And I am not willing to leave this relationship!

Set boundaries.. and stick to them. Accountability and trust are going to be paramount. Communication. Attend meetings together but also on your own. Maybe find a good woman’s meeting that can be just yours.
This part may be a slap… never say never. If you truly want to be sober, leaving may be your only choice. Talk to the ALANON group in your area. If your partner is not willing to sober up, they can help you.
I wish you luck.
