...See more Today I kissed my husband goodbye, he left in an uber ride to rehab. He'll be gone for a while, but I intend to use this time to thoroughly clean and organize every single.room and closet, and I've got some personal goals for myself, as well. Our children will miss him, and I will too. I will NOT miss the drunk him, though. I will try to remain positive through every adjustment and the feelings of being a single mom...I believe with my whole heart that things are going to be good, but if anyone has any info on what to do after he gets home I'd really enjoy some insight

...See more My husband leaves Wednesday for a 21 day inpatient program. I am so hopeful and very relieved. He has struggled immensely with alcohol abuse. Thank u all for listening when I needed to get these things out. I will still stay on 7cups because it has been a light in this very dark tunnel and I will always be grateful to everyone that has reached out just to say hey. If anyone ever needs a listening ear or just to know u are not alone I am always around to chat.

...See more After YEARS of alcoholism, my husband has said that he is ready for rehab. This does not.come without so many painful memories and missed opportunities and every other terrible thing alcohol brought to our lives. 24 days ago I couldn't take it any longer, and I told him I wanted my own bank account because we weren't going to make it together and I needed to get myself situated for such a big decision. He got WASTED that night, and drove himself home and passed out in the running vehicle. He had no clue how he got home or how long he'd been there and I was livid. He could have very well.died that night or killed someone else. The next day I told him about it and he was like whaaaat? He literally had no idea any of it even happened. Today I've been searching for rehab centers. I pray for all of you who are struggling as a bystander of alcohol abuse. I can't give advice because it's not.one size fits all, but I can tell u to pray hard for the addict in your life and for yourself. Its not easy being in this role. Keep praying.
