Hi all. It looks like I (29 F) will be divorcing the love of my life (32 M) after he refused to get help for his alcoholism and hurt me. We were together 13 years, married for 9, with two children. I am very much still in love with sober him, and am codependent. I already have started Codependent No More, which is ringing true for me. I also read Why Does He Do That? and liked it as well. I was wondering if there are any other books that might be helpful in this situation? I want to get better and rebuild a life I didn't even start without him by my side.
Thanks so much and sorry for the overshare. I have an issue with that. Haha

Sorry no suggestion other than the two you listed. Internet hugs and support – it isn’t easy but it’s important to choose and take care of yourself so that you can take care of your littles. Get some therapy if you can manage it.
