Hi there amc.
I am past my third week, but when I quit my hubs still drank although he supported me in my efforts to change. I tended to change my habits while he was drinking, so if he was drinking in front of the TV I did something else. Spent time on this site usually. We didnt go out into drinking environments for a good few months either. Now I can and I have no issues with it, but I would give yourself time to adjust.
How are you doing?

Mine does too

Mine still drinks, now I am on baclofen it doesn't bother me......I don't NEED to drink now, but if I "want to" I can and I don't have to keep continuing.......... I doesn't "bother" me if he drinks, I cannot make him do anything and it bothers me a little when he gets nasty drunk, but oh well............just me, I think it is baclofen that makes it ok.......for me(maybe a little age and AA in there, but all mixed together it is good!)
