I haven't updated in a while after my last post. AH is in detox right now. We never went to court, as he made the decision to go on his own. The only problem now is that the state rehabilitation facility only takes 5 people per month who can't pay while funds last, and they won't take him unless he proves to them that he actually wants to go. They want to keep as many beds open as possible for people who are serious about sobriety but can't pay, and I don't disagree with that. I'm just afraid that AH will refuse to go and they will just send him home. He's already went through a 2 week detox from which he came home January 7th. That's why they sent him home. He told them he had no intentions of completely quitting.

He told the evaluation committee this time that he knew he needed to quit drinking, and he knew he was going to die if he didn't. He said he didn't want to die, he wanted to be able to get a job and keep it, and he wanted to try to salvage his marriage, and that is why he chose to do it himself. I have a hard time getting my hopes up, though. Well, actually they aren't up at all. There's a little voice in the back of my mind telling me that he just said all of that because he knows that's what he is supposed to say. I don't know if he really feels it or not. All I know to say is we'll see. Serenity prayer and lot's of leaning on HP for the next (potential) 2 months.
