Sherella,
Six months ago I had my AH committed. He was drinking excessive amounts every day while trying to withdraw from Valium, was getting violently ill and had dropped down to 105 pounds. I gave him a choice and told him he could either go to the emergency room voluntarily or I would commit him because I was not going to stand by and watch him die. He begged me not to do it but I felt I had no choice. I had such a horrible feeling waiting for the police to come to my home to take my husband away. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. My AH spent 3 weeks in the hospital getting physically healthy, a couple weeks in psych getting mentally healthy and then another 30 days in rehab. He's been in rehab before but I think this time he finally gets it. He doesn't want to die and I can see a real change in him. He actually thanked me for having him committed.
