When i was in treatment my spouse removed
all the alcohol from the house as well as any
objects that would tempt me to drink.

No he didnt have to, but out of being curteous
and respect he did. He didnt need alcohol for
himself.

For me that was a big help esp. just coming
home from rehab and still harboring resentments
for what my family did to me. However it was
a blessing.

I was the one that had to make changes in
my life if i was to stay sober. I was the one
to go to any lengths to stay sober. And I
wanted to for myself because i didnt want
to be sent away from my family any longer
than i had.

28 days in rehab plus a 6 weeks outpatiant
aftercare program instead of out of state
halfway house for 3 months or so.

So i did what i needed to do since my life
depended on it.

I had a program to work and a family to care
for. And i did one day at a time.

Is she supportive of u? Would she be willing
to help anyway she can if u chose to go
to rehab? Rehab isnt for everyone, however
i needed it because alcohol kicked my butt
and i tried to end my misery. My family didnt
know what else to do for me except call the
authorites and get me help.

Rehab wasnt fun however it was a safe haven
to keep me in a controled inviroment where
alcohol wasnt available and it allowed me to
learn about alcoholism and its affects on me
and why not others.

Educating urself about this is not the end of
the world. It saved my life and has made me
a better person.

And i enjoy life without alcohol.
