I don't know you, but I'm very sorry you're husband isn't more supportive. When people in our lives are like that, we have to be extra kind to ourselves. It's hard to be strong all the time so we have to do the best we can. Staying sober is a huge step forward in your life. I'm very proud of you for taking that step.
It sounds like your husband is jealous that you are spending time away from him. Maybe your drinking makes you more dependent on him, and he is afraid of loosing that power, or your attention? I think its important to keep his problem from becoming your problem, because just learning to cope without drinking is huge, without having to deal with another person's issues on top of your own. Be sure to talk to your sober friends so you have an outlet to get the support he isn't giving you.
