Q: My husband is a recovering
alcoholic. He has been sober for almost 30 days now. He is on this certain
medication that would make you very sick the moment you have an alcoholic
intake. He has done some serious damage to our marriage. I just want him to hug
me or go to movies with me. He doesn’t want to. He always wants to spend time
by himself. Am I wasting my time?
A: You can take it one day at a
time. There should be high caution since the sobriety is still fresh. Your
husband must own up to his previous mistakes and confront his shame. Express
your hurt and anger with him and yourself if you permitted his drinking problem
in any way. You can handle this best with the help of a counselor trained in
substance abuse.
