Hi folks,


I haven't posted for a long time but I thought I'd update you all.  I was having issues with my husband's drinking a couple of months ago and gave him an ultimatum...alcohol or me.  Happily, he chose me.  We did a lot of talking and it turns out that somehow he'd gotten into the habit of drinking more and more until it got to the point where he wasn't participating in normal activities in the evening...we hadn't been out on a date in ages.  He admitted that he was in fact very unhappy with his drinking.  He was extremely reluctant to get into AA, as he is an atheist and a very private kind of person, so he went online and found some RR site and got some materials from them.  His whole attitude did a complete 180 degree change and he is committed to getting healthy.  I was extremely nervous at first that he would have some difficulty finding other activities to fill in his former using time, but he has adapted quite well.  So, ultimatums can be a good thing... 


 


Thanks for listening.

I am so happy that things are turning around for you and for your husband.  It is great to hear of a positive path.  My husband hates AA but I know there are other recovery paths and I have suggested them. 


Thanks for your positive news!!! 


 


Love, HeidiXXX
