It's been 8 days since I filed for divorce, but then my husband astounded me by quitting drinking. He was never abusive. We actually had a great relationship when he wasn't drinking. I mostly couldn't stand that I couldn't have a decent conversation with him, that he seemed to be getting more and more depressed, and that I couldn't rely on him to be sober (to drive, to come with me to a public place, etc.). I filed for divorce last Friday, but when he poured all his beer out and said that he'd quit for me, I stopped the divorce. He has never said he'd quit in our 14 years together and all of my begging. I really think that he does want to succeed, but I have my doubts since he refuses to go to AA or counseling. Is it possible for an alcoholic to quit successfully on their own?
