Wow what a day I had !!! My AH was loaded last nite and actually got soo drunk he peed on the couch cause he ws too drunk to get up.I was soo angry I told him he had to do something today,had to go somewhere,I didnt care where.So he said he wanted to go into in pt . YEA!! So today I left to take the kids to school and to go to the grocery store.When he called me he was drunk at 9 am.So to make a long story short,,,between myself and his counselor we got him into an intensive in pt clinic.Want to know wht Ive been doing tonight while hes gone ? Ive been cleaning.Cleaning out the dirt , and the stink,and the junk.Cleaning up everything.Will it last ?,no.Am I happy now,right now , yes.Hes in a place he cant drink,cant hurt anyone , and is completely and totaly supervised.I dont know wht it wil take to have him court committed, but tht is my next step.Hes a manic depresive w suicidal tendancies,and he an alcoholic.Mabey Im wrong and I should pray for my marriage.But Ive been praying every day for 3 yrs and it just get worse,everyday.Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know,tonight at least,, Im at peace,,,and there is no chaos at my house
I hope that you are still enjoying the peace. When my AH went into detox, I think that I slept harder and longer than I had in years because I knew he was safe at least for a few days. After that, the real work begins, not just for him but for you too!! Keep coming back!!

That is good news. Hopefully he will get the help he needs. I remember when AH first went into rehab. I came home so relieved, so overwhelmed and everything else you can imagine. All those emotions came flooding out. I hadn't found Alanon yet, I am so glad that you did now. It would have helped me so much. Enjoy the serenity. Now's the time to be extra good to yourself. Love and blessings to you and your family.
