Sounds like H is doing some soul searching and is turning to you for support.
You are doing great. It sounds like you had some great, but simple, conversations this weekend.
I am sorry that you had to go through the wondering of where he was, but glad he told you the truth and that you were able to enlighten him to his pattern of behavior in such a supportive way.
I am also sorry that he doen't recognize his drinking problem. I hope for his sake and others that he doesn't end up hurting someone while driving. For him to say he didn't care about himself made me so sad. With your love and support, maybe he will start to love himself again.
That is great that you let him know that you pray for him. I am going to tell my H that too again when the opportunity arises.
Have a great day.
