I agree with jujuB

Addicts/alcoholics are a real mess and even in recovery as my XH was sober for 20 years--unless they put real effort/change /therapy into their recovery..
R willany active addict/alcoholic will be very difficult/impossible

Great you got support with Alanon..great program and people

I will ignore anything your H says..they have a stake in us staying sick...so your recovery may scare him as he knows he is not making any effort for healing himself

Alcoholics cant become social drinkers ever-- so he is just lying to himself..He may control it for a few weeks or months but the disease is real, alive and present
once he takes the first drink--

You are doing well so continue with your program
