Regarding the rehab part, doesnt matter if he does out or in patient
It all cost money, gas, time off from work, etc...
But remember, none of it is a magic cure- Not for you or him!!
They will drink, when they want to drink
Mine checked himself into rehab for $10 grand & for 28 days
For the first 3 weeks that he got out of rehab, he ate, lived & slept AA
He called or texted everyone that he meet in rehab 24/7, and they did the same
Bugged the crap out of me, to say the least..."Oh, like it's okay to invite
that dude to our house, because you meet him in rehab and he only killed 3 people,
but oh yeah, I forgot he is sober now!!"...Ummm, Not for me!!!
Within the first 3 weeks, I was frustrated, angry, confussed, I WANTED THE CURE!
I guess I wanted to see some type of magical rainbow I dont know.
I know, I just wanted to see something different...
Well 8 months later, a divorce, he moves away, I see alot of things differently
After having dinner at the cafe a couple of times which is next door to the rehab center
and the AA class. The little old lady who owns the cafe, clued me in on a secret!!!
She expressed to me, how much she enjoyed having him eat there 2 nights a week.
She had no clue of what was going on. She was happy to have a paying customer.
He wasnt at class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, like he told me he was.
He was in there, eating dinner and having a good old time.
But guess, I will give him 10 extra points, he was always home at 9:15pm
