writes:I am married to an alcoholic and have been dealing with this for 10 years. Over the years he has humiliated himself, my children, and me. He has been abusive and jeopardized our financial situation. I had a brief affair last summer with a friend who became a lover, but only for a few months-- it was a good escape-- but complicated issues even more for me emotionally. /My husband has been in AA but can't seem to stay sober for more than a few weeks. I want nothing more than to believe in him because when he is sober he is a great guy- it is just that it is unpredicatable. I kicked him out a couple of months ago, but he seemed to get it all together so I let him come home to spend the holidays with his boys.Well, he did it again and now I don't know what to do? I don't necessarily want a divorce because financially we would all suffer (I already work 2 jobs). Has anyone been with an addict and actually supported them through recovery-- how do you know if he will truly remain sober?
