Re: [chicago alanon] Relapse

Hi

We are so similiar.....my husband spends money when he is drinking and when he
was using. I guess I should be greatful he is just drinking.....lol He is the
moneymaker in the family, I am on disability. If he keeps going he will lose
his job. They paid for him to go rehab before so I am guessing they would be
pissed.

Thank you so much for responding

finally said I had enough and he went to inpatient care for only 1 week. He
lasted 2 days and is back to the same old behaviors. I have been supporting our
family for months now because he isn't capable of working due to his addictions.
All you can do to keep your sanity is try to take care of yourself and kids if
you have them and not worry. God has control and will not let us suffer more
than we can endure. That's all I do. I try not to let his emotional abuse affect
me and it's hard not to retaliate with my own form of abusive language but it
doesn't help to fight back. Hang in there.

Hello everyone

This is so frustrating that I am writing this...it is likee dajsbnu
Last summer my husband went to rehab for 3 months after a year of
steadly increasing his drinking. He was the classic...wake up in the
middle of the night to drink, lie becsuse no one could tell he was
drinking...lol He almost lost his job and his family. So rehab went
great and he was sober for about 6 months. But instead of doing his
steps and AA he took medication to control his urge to drink. So when
the stress came he had no coping skills.

I am scared that we are heading down this road again. I honestly don't
know if I have it in me to do this again. I have MS and the stress is
really hurting me.

What should I do. I know it is his fight but this is my family I am
fighting for. Any suggestions would be loved

Thank you for letting me vent
