Just wanted to say thank you to all of you that were in the chat room last night. I came in needing support, and you all surrounded me with your love, support and understanding. That's what the chat room is for.
Had to have hubby taken away in an ambulance because he drank too much, and this time instead of passing out, he started to throw things around. The phone hit me in the head by accident, and I felt it wasn't safe for either of us. Not because he would deliberately hurt me, he's never even raised a hand to me. But for some reason the opposite happened which was a first. The officers and ambulance came and he was very pleasant to them. He cooperated and went with them. Calling them and not going with him to the hospital was the toughest thing I ever had to do. But I am very glad I did it.
All is better now, hubby was released from the emergency room sobered up. He asked if he could spend the night (it was 1am). He was sober and I felt safe. He doesn't even remember what happened. We talked a bit, and went to bed. He is crestfallen at the thought that he hurt me. We will talk about options for us. I am steadfast in my decision not to live with an active A. He is a chronic relapser. However, I am hoping that he will get back on his program. ODAT. My head is fine, just a small bump. Like the camel, I fell to my knees, but got back up and did what I had to do. Without this program I wouldn't have had the strength or the courage to do that.
It is Easter Sunday, a time of renewal. What better time to start fresh. I have faith in my program, my HP and his that all will be well. This is also Passover, and I am hoping that this evil disease has passed over our door for the last time.
Love and blessings to all of you. Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy Spring!
Live strong, Karilynn and Pipers Kitty (she outside looking for the Easter Beagle)

We are all okay. My bump is nearly gone. Hubby is still tired and emotionally beating himself up after this. Dinner is in the works, and smells good. We have spent some time talking, but rather than being negative, focusing on the positive. After all this is a time of renewal. I have faith and hope for all of us. We both refuse to give up and loose to this dreaded disease. Thank you all for your love and concern. I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when I come here. Is it the Easter Beagle?
Love and blessings to all!
Live strong, Karilynn and Pipers Kitty and hubby too!
P.S. Piper has indeed found the Easter Beagle! He came in the form of Catnip Bubbles.

Kari---Glad everyone is doing better today! Happy Easter to you all! Hang in there, you are doing great. You offered me so much when I was going thru my crisis. Just keep taking care of yourself. I'm finally learning how, and hubby and I have been getting along so much better.
I am so very sorry to hear of your incident. This disease does nothing but destroy us and everything in its path. My wish for you is for hub to gain prospective and strength and sobriety.
I totally relate to not wanting to live with an Active A anymore. It is way too much work and heart break.
I will be praying for you and hub. Love you and wishing nothing but the best.
Sorry to hear things not going so smoothly. I know how the alchohol can sometimes change the As personality. I know my A very stressed lately with the renovations we are doing and the combo of the alcohol and stress making him very short tempered. Hope your Easter was happy.
