Starting my sober journey but spouse is an alcoholic

Welcome Rachel,
Congratulations on your 21 days of sobriety. That’s amazing.
I too got sober with a spouse who continued to drank. It wasn’t so bad or even that hard my first couple of years. I mean it sucked. But I was so focused on my sobriety it did bother me too much.

Anyway. It’s a progressive disease and eventually she got worse and I kept getting better. And when my life became unmanageable I went to Al-Anon.

We got a few threads here for people like us.

I always try to remember when I’m focused on her drinking. I’m not focusing on my sobriety.
I hope to see you around the wonderful very supportive forum.
