Re: I want to scream.......but if I do will it cause a relapse

I remember when my qualifier went into rehab for the third time. He
had just lost his job. I felt the same way as you did, I took my
qualifer to the rehab centre by bus. Not a fun experience because he
was drunk at the time. I remember getting off the bus and my
qualifier starting walking down the middle of the road. All I could
think was please God have a car hit him of course God had his own
plans. We finally got to the Rehab centre where he lied about being
drunk but he finally got in. Then of course I had to call all his
family to inform them of this and call where he worked to let them
know. Then of course there were the bills that had to be paid which
I couldn't do so the juggling started. I was feeling the same way as
you by this time and really wanted to have a break (for as long as he
was in rehab) but that wasn't in the books. I did have a break
though because I didn't have to put up with what my qualifier did and
boy was it peaceful in my place.
Good luck

Wendy
