Once Again


Well, I come to the board with a heavy heart once again.  Back in 2004, my AH had gotten his first DUI.  By 2007 I left our home and he headed for a 30-day rehab.  In 2008, I move back home and he fell off the wagon every now and then.

Last night, while driving home from a wedding with his mother in the vehicle, he ran a red light and a car collided into him, rendering his vehicle a wreck.  Second DUI.  His job requires him to drive.  He has had 30 years with the company..........................

I feel like a fool.  I have no hope for his sobriety.  I have no trust.

I just write to let those of you who think that he or she has changed, well.......... hopefully that is true.  But in my case it is false.

Truthfully, I think his licsense should be revoked for life.  It is not just anger talking.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Gail
I am so sorry you are in this painful place.  Alcoholism is cunning and powerful I have experienced what you are dealing with.

You need support.  Please keep coming here posting and double up with your face to face meetings.

Praying for your family

(((((Gail M)))))...Anger isn't wrong or bad.   Don't direct it at yourself...I've never
met anyone who could conquer this disease either.smile
