Dear JustUs,
My husband has been a recovering alcoholic for about a year. He is in AA. He walks around here making pronouncements about our lives. I understand why, they are positive and uplifting statements so I know I should like and encourage it (it can be a bit annoying at times, but I accept it). But in the middle of arguments he begins chuckling and laughing at me, shaking his head and walking away. I didn’t like him drunk but I sure as hell can’t stand him sober now. He is insufferable. What can I do? I'm feeling like I'm losing either way!

Tiffany,
Be patient! Get yourself a stress reliever as well. He's fighting with you and fighting urges. That laughing is a way he avoid saying anything negative. You laugh sometimes to stop from crying. Be considerate and find something to preoccupy yourself until he's over this phase of his recovery. It's different steps to recovery. Pray for him and I'll pray for the both of you. It's counterproductive for you to expect too much so soon. It didn't take one or two days to become an alcoholic and it won't take that to recover.
