Hey all, My H is coming around again. Or so I think.
He text me twice last night to basically say that he misses me so much and loves me and would do anything to work on our M, and asked me if there is anything he can do to make it work out.
I basically responded with a text and said I would love to but I feel he needs to get sober and try A.A. and read the "big book" on alcoholism.
He said He would try to figure something out.
My question to you all is: I feel like he is actually serious this time. He Keeps texting me since then about how serious he is and how he will get what it takes to make this work. He wants me to come over (but I am not really ready, I dont think). So where do I go from here.
I want to believe him. But I am afraid to push him away more if I request that I want him to go to a.a. meetings. I know in alanon they tell me that if an alcohlic wants to get sober, they should be given the chance to try to do so in any way they see fit for themselves. My H says he is not the sharing type or the kind of person that would seek help from an outside group. I know this about him too. But I feel it the only good option for alcoholics that really want to stay sober. Cold turkey is too hard for them, and that is currently what I think he thinks he is capable of.
He has suggested M counseling and I said that I agree that would be a good idea. Any suggestions??????????? TIPPER
