My husband just relapsed after one year just this past 10 days. He did a 30 day program last year, several months of an outpatient programs, AA. He had a hip replaced and I nursed him through it earlier this year. We noticed in the last couple of months the AA visits lessened. I went away for a week and he fell off the wagon. After a horrendous 2011 and the alcoholic denying years leading up to it I am now a tough b**ch, strengthened by Al Anon. I told him that he had two choices 1) call his family and find a place to stay that he wasn't allowed to live here anymore or 2) see if he can find a bed at the rehab to detox. After that conversation he said he was staying home and going to an outpatient program, I repeated myself again. He is now in detox as I write this for the next week. There was no bending on my end. There will no longer be. I need to take care of me and my mental and physical health first so that I am around for the kids.
