CP,

Sounds like you're having a tough night. Sorry for that.

I just got caught up on your thread. I take it your H has not done anything to resolve his addiction issue. Volleydog's earlier post in your thread is, unfortunately, correct - your H has to want to get better. No one else can do that for him.

The fact he is still reaching out to you is a good sign, I think. But I understand your concern about what to do given his apparent reluctance to get treatment.

It appears your H responds well to enforced boundaries. Why not make the tratment a boundary. Do not have contact with him if he doesn't start treatment by a date certain. And tell him this.

None of us here know how our situations will turn out. But, we can all grow stronger with the advice and techniques here.

Keep praying. It has been a big deal for me. Each time I thought I couldn't go on, I prayed for strength, courage and patience. And they just came.

I can't tell you what to do or what is a right or wrong decision. Only you know the answer. And you may not know it right now.

Just hang in there for YOU. I will be praying for you.
