My husband still drinks. We have been together 23 years. I will have 1,000 days sober in 4 days. 
It was a hard road to quit drinking while he was drinking, but I never considered not being with him because he has a problem with alcohol. He is not abusive or a mean drunk or personā¦he isnāt reckless or endangering anyone. He is a good man, husband, father, grandfather, friend. He is kind, understanding, funny, he put up with my shit for years, he is caring and generous. Over time he has come to understand my sobriety and the recovery process more and that has been a big help. It was really hard at first for both of us. Our relationship is not perfect, but we do respect, love and genuinely want the best for eachother.
My non drinking has had a positive effect on him as well. He is much more cognizant of how much and how often he drinks. And yes, it has lessened some over the past 3 years. His journey is his journey however and his relationship with alcohol is all his own. As is mine.
It is 100% possible to get to a place of loving kindness being sober with a drinking partner. Only you know the true heart of your marriage and what kind of a husband and man your partner is. Mine is a gem and a keeperā¦even with his own issuesā¦cuz seriously, we all have room to grow and change. 
It is a big adjustment for both of you. Take time and care for your self. Be selfish in your sobriety and let him know you have to be for now. Life holds so many changes for all of us. We CAN grow together even as we have differences.
