Good to hear from you! I think you're taking the right approach to your H with being cautious right now. You both have a lot to work through and that's gonna take some time. He's made a verbal commitment to work on the M and not contact OW? Please say, yes
I'm so glad that he's going to be getting some counseling for his drinking. Have you thought about attending Al Anon as well? I agree with Karen's post about Alcoholism because your H uses it as a form of escape and has set out to get drunk to escape life. If he was just having a good time and binging every once in awhile because he couldn't stop, I'd agree more with the person you talked to, but it sounded like he was drinking some days out of every week for awhile. Anyway.. that's a technicality. As long as no one is downplaying his problem and he understands he needs help, that's great!
