Hey, altered, I'm wondering where you are now. I just joined this
group today (1/9/08) and I'm in the same position you were when you
posted. Years ago, my husband was drinking a lot, went to AA & got
sober, but is now drinking again. We've been together 17+ years -- he
was (and is) my first love. I don't want to stay with him and go
through this again, but I don't want to be alone/on my own either.

What did you end up doing?
