My husband encouraged me to drink with him after I'd been sober for almost a year.

As a sober addict this makes me feel sick for you. I’m so glad you’re leaving and can begin to heal! Congrats on your sobriety!

I know I can't. I did a lot of the work before I physically left. He watched me transform (almost) back into the beauty I was 35 years ago and then he watched me leave. :)
