Further to my last message: I've since heard that someone doesn't
have to be 'falling down drunk' to have a problem with alcohol.

My husband's other addiction to chat rooms & women has escalated.
I'm experiencing increasing anxiety & sadness, but with the help &
support of my wonderful interim sponsor & also other members, I am
proud of how I am dealing with it - at the moment. I ask my Higher
Power for help when I start to feel emmotional & really concentrate
hard to stop that feeling taking over me.

I don't feel angry towards my husband, a tiny bit resentful to life
maybe. I feel calm in a way & do not react in any way to whatever
he does. I can treat him with kindness & courtesy. Though we'll
see how well I'm doing when he returns from his 2nd weekend away!

I'm reading the Courage To Change & One Day At A Time books at every
opportunity, particularly on Detatchment & Letting Go.

I opened my friday al anon meeting today, the topic
being 'Boundaries' which for me is really quite a joke as I have
them, but my husband tramples straight through them! Tomorrow's
topic is Letting Go, which should be good for me!
