I haven't posted to you for awhile altho I have been reading along. I'm in the midst of fighting what I feel is a losing battle with the alcoholics in my life, Including my husband. But I wont go in to details here on your stich.
Please follow the advise of these wise woman ( WCW & 25 )
Just a short story in regards to my eldest brother ( who will be 60 years old in august )
Very intellegent person altho started using heavy drugs and alcohlol while a teenager. He was in the army for 19 years went thru 5 of the BEST rehabs the army could offer... got discharged before he was eligable for full army retirement.......... Continued to drink after each and every rehab
He has been married 3 times and has lived with 2 gals for an extended time.......they ALL left due to his drinking Gave up parental rights to his first 2 boys, whom my aunt and uncle raised, and now has lost parental rights to his 10 year old son.
OK.....Zoom into the last 2 years...Foreclosed on house, which has been condemned for HUMAN habitation...Lost his drivers license,.....was living in his Van....and STILL making it to work every night...........until March...He was drinking a fifth of vodak a day..every day. Passing out, leaving his gas stove on ( ON purpose ) Burning holes in the carpet at his new apartment and almost starting the apartment on fire.
I get an emergency call at 3:00 am regarding another suicide attempt, Go with one of his friend directly to a direct admit to our VA hospital.....OK It took them 8 days ( EIGHT ) to detox him. He was physically ILL for hours and hours...He was transfered to the rehab of the hospital where he spent 30 days............he was home 30 days attending AA 2 times a week.got cleared to go back to work..and 2 weeks later ..he's #@%# drinking again!!!!!
OK.what im trying to get across here is this a a very LONG road to recovery.....even for a person that seriously wants to quit... Chances of your hubby getting sober to me is less than 5% if not NILL. He cant do this on his own...and this is his PATH to take NOT yours. Continue as you were, Concentrate on you. Keep going to your meetings and like WCW said " GET off the teeter totter "
Your gonna get hurt, and your gonna get hurt bad if you dont distance yourself from him. I dont see anything changing here. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
