Yes so today I drew the line he tried to lie and tell me hes being released so I reached out to the rehab and they told me not at all and that he is still detoxing and it’s a risk to his life if he leaves. They supported me on my decision to not come and pick him up. I told him if he doesn’t stay and heal and learn how to handle this disease he can never come home. He finally caved and agreed for now . Its going to be a long 30 days. I have to find my strength no matter what.

I’m sorry your loss but happy for the time and hopefully peace your finding. My husband called me yesterday from rehab said he is going great. Well I know better and he us already trying g yo come home its only been 3 days. So now its already getting grey skies. He is already convincing them he can do outpatient by friday. They are so convincing. Even professionals? Believe him. Such a hard disease. My daughter heard me talking to him last night and I can tell she got scared again. I’m so confused right now.
Thank you for your support and kind words. The last few days have really given me peace with him being at rehab. It’s so quiet especially at night. My daughter has come home and is actually not in her room. She even made dinner. It’s sad to think all this might be gone again. I love him but don’t want that life anymore. I dont think he understands either . He doesn’t understand the damage hes done to us. It’s a weird trapped life we are in. Ifvpeople haven’t experienced it they dont understand. They mean well but it’s just not as easy as it they make it seem. I’m working on rest and relation ..a good walk is a great idea.
It’s sad they do this. My husband also has gotten large. I dont wish this life on anyone. I can’t trust anymore due to all the lies and my mind is so bruised from all the arguing and the verbal scolding I was getting. It sounds much like you I too am the provider so trying to keep it together to maintain my ability to work is also a challenge. I want him well I just wish there was a guarantee that after this rehab stay he will never drink again. However what I am seeing with him is that evertime he heals he gets these thoughts that he is resilient and he starts up again. It’s so sad as we have a nice life otherwise.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing.My husband is extremely I’ll due to his alcoholism. This last binge he was on almost killed him.i was finally able to get him to go get medical care. He has alcoholic hepatitis. They kept him in hospital and told him if he keeps drinking he will die. He refused to go to rehab for help. They tried but he said no. It’s been 4 weeks since he was released and he kept drinking. Friday he was arrested for public intoxication and I was able to get a counselor from a rehab be on the phone when he got in the car from being released. He helped me get through to him and agree to go. I was at the end of road and out of options for him as my daughter told me she would no longer be at home anymore if he was going to be there and shes pregnant. Hes now in rehab. They said hes not doing so well as his body is extremely weak from his liver deterioration. I’m trying to stay calm and pray they can save him.
