Hubby has slipped again. We have talked and talked many times about how he can't stay sober by doing it alone. This morning he is seriously thinking about going back to rehab. I think it's a great idea as his head is so far out of the program that it's not working for him anymore. Something isn't connecting. I have been hoping and praying that he will find his way. That he will surrender in a way that will be positive. He can stay sober for a week or 2 and then back at it. Detox scares him, but I reminded him the last time he went to detox he did not have seizures because they took good care of him. He's scared that if he goes to rehab that he will loose his medicare. Anyone know the answer to that one? Does it really matter? What good is medicare if you're dead?
I suggested we call his therapist who also works the rehab program and see if she can get him in. Otherwise he will have to drink and drink to up his BAC, go to the emergency room and hope they will take him into the program. (The irony of having to drink in order to get into the program astounds me.) I have to work the next 2 days, but I told him if he really wants to go then go. Don't wait. I'll come see him. He knows he has my support 150%. But I can't do it for him. His recovery is up to him. I think it would be the best thing for him. He's worried about me and my health issues. He says he wants to be there for me to take care of me. I appreciate that, really I do. But it's not going to do me any good if he's sick too. I'll be fine. I won't let anything stand in the way of me getting better. Please keep him in your prayers that he finds his way to rehab. He's such a kind, loving decent man. He's just lost his way. Thank you as always for your love and support. Much love and blessings to you all.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

You and your dear husband are in my prayers. I'm am so sorry you both are going through this, but I do know your HP is in control when you let him be. You are such a wonderfully sweet lady. Please keep us posted on how things are going.
(((((karilyn)))))) Sending up many prayers for your hubby's recovery and well-being. He's lucky to have such a supportive, wonderful person next to him. Take good care.
Prayers going up. Your unconditional love for your hubby is amazing. Your heart is so genuine. He is one very lucky man and you are one exceptional woman.
I think for them and us in recovery there are ups and downs guaranteed. I come from a coaching background. I use to be so devastated as the coach when my team would lose. Someone said to me, Nancy, you can't play for them. They have to want to win. So I know it is hard but it is his game. Your love and support for your husband comes through the board so strongly. All the best.
You are such a wonderful example of giving your loved one compassion and support, without losing yourself. He is so very fortunate to have you in his life. I will pray that he finds his way.
Love, Lou

I will offer up lots of prayers for your hubby. It must be very hard for both of you. I am overwhelmed with you compassion and that he can be so open to you.
(((Karilynn)))) You and hubby are in my prayers. Hang in there sweetie....keep taking care of you thru this. You are a loving and compassionate woman whom has helped me thru some rough times. I'm here for you. love, rosie
I don't see why he would lose his medicare. There are hotlines to discuss medicare issues. I do not know which state you are in but they are by the state.
I know fear is one of my biggest issues. I hope you take good care of you. I know what it is to have to work with significant health issues.
Sorry, been out of town and am just catching up. You take care of yourself my friend and give hubby our very best wishes along with our support. There's no defeat in slipping. Defeat happens when he quits trying.
Christy and Hubby
