Well, what a week, last week has been. To make a long story short, I went on vacation with my sister. I knew that my AH was hitting the bottle hard, I didn't know the last time he had been to work, I didn't check and I didn't call him in. I decided that this was it. He is responsible for himself. I spoke with my daughter and asked her to check on him but to do nothing. If he's unconsious, call 911 and go home. Do not intervene in any other way, unless he asks. Well, he asked. It took 5 days to detox him and he is now back in rehab. All his own doing. He even drove himself 7 hours to get to the rehab facility. Maybe now I can have hope. I'm hoping that by leaving and saying goodbye to him that it will sink in to him that he is killing himself. At least for right now, I get 28 days of peace.
Oh, that's so good to hear! Sounds like he finally ¨hit bottom¨. And even better, decided to do something aout it. Yes, enjoy your time of peace and quiet. Be good to you. And keep coming back.
