The Insanity Ends TODAY

Rehab

The past two days nearly killed me.  After DH drank his way through Friday and Saturday and I was compelled to make a 1.5 hour, 90 mile round trip drive to pick up his drunk, broken-down-motorcycle arse, I was done.  Ultimatum and hard truth time since last night.  He didn't actually believe me.  Now he does.  Trying to set up rehab right now.  Tried to wiggle out of a commitment and I got the shrink on the phone.  He lied about the quantity of use but I held my ground.  Rehab or out.  Done.

Strength? I don't know.  More like out of strength to carry on for one more second the life we were living.  (Living being a relative term in this case.)  Whatever it was, it worked.  He's been sober since the day I wrote this journal.  Worked through outpatient rehab, AA, got a very hard-core sponsor and did everything he was told to do.  It's like a miracle.  :-)

Jaybay, I love a happy ending.  I'm so happy for you and your husband.  May you both have only good days ahead.  Peace

I read your answers to others, jaybay. You are strong, indeed. I am considered strong but it is only a facade. Your story inspired me. A month ago I'd hit bottom and now I'm one month clean of being addicted to the addict. I'm at the point of not trying to change her anymore, only changing the way I handle the situation. I think she is starting to pay attention.
