Just starting my sobriety tonight. My husband had a talk with me and found out I have been buying and drinking alcohol behind his back… this is the fourth time he has caught me in three years. I want to give up but have so many time and went back. If I don’t stop I lose our marriage. I don’t want that. He means the world to me. Any help is appreciated

Warm welcome Jamie! This is a great first step. I’m glad you want to change your life. What really helped me is to read read read on here. Asking a lot of questions. Your support from husband is great. And apparently you have kids? They deserve so so much a sober mom. And what I learnt on here a lot was to “never crave alone”. If you crave come here. There will always be someone you can talk to! Looking forward to see you around

Hi there Jamie and welcome 🙋
Admitting you have a problem is a big step and you just took it, congratulations! 
There is plenty to read here about your addiction and how to beat it. For me it helps to be here much. My doc is alcohol too. My day one is 425 days ago. Fill your fridge with nice healthy foods and alcohol free drinks. Herbal tea’s I found usefull too. In the first weeks I ate a lot of sweets so be sure you have them too 
Be nice for yourself and determinate and you will get there!

Can you find someone you are willing to be honest wish and let them support your accountability? You husband does not sound like the right person to take on that role as it has not worked in the past. Accountability and support require my willingness to work in my life. If you are ready for that, start reaching out to others in recovery, in person is most helpful in my experience! Good luck, its infinitely nicer not to have to hide anything anymore
