My husband has just returned from rehab, prior to this he came to me and told me the full extent of his problems as he had had enough of the control he had over his life. I’ve always known he was a heavy drinker, I enjoy a drink as do all of our friends but over the last couple of years it got so much worse than I even realised. He wanted to go to rehab he wanted the chance to get his life back which I supported and have helped fund, through extending our mortgage, I felt as though he and our children deserve the chance to get their dad back. It hasn’t been a smooth journey since his return he’s had a couple of relapses. I have given him a choice, he either drinks but he is on his own or has a sober life with me and our children, everybody knows friends & family and they support this decision. But ultimately this is his choice, I can’t take that away from him but I also I have my choices… I don’t want a life with him drinking however much I love him I will be putting myself and my children first in the future. Good luck with your journey and remember none of this is your fault and you shouldn’t have to deal with this alone, talk to friends and family and don’t cover for his behaviour.
