Hi blue chair, You must be so relieved the day went well and that your husband is now in a place where he can learn the tools he'll need to rely upon for the rest of his life. This time apart is crucial for you too. The stronger you can become, and the more you can let him work his recovery, the better off you'll be. I made a big mistake when my son was released from rehab....not that I'm responsible for his relapse...but I did police him so to speak. I reminded him about everything...constantly asked how he was feeling...blah blah blah...I must have driven him crazy! The more small successes they can have working through issues on their own the more confident they'll feel moving forward. Obviously these are just my opinions...take what you like and leave the rest. I'm glad he's in a safe spot and I'm glad you have such a support system around you.
