Well that's the thing about relapse…….
I thought that if my husband ever relapsed that he would tell me, and we would go to AA no big deal.
I AM NOT KIDDING. That is what I thought.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
No laughing matter. Relapses can be worse than the original situation that brought them to seek sobriety in the first place. My husband convinced himself he was no longer an alcoholic. He started drinking in secret. He would deny he was drinking when obviously drunk. It was the most awful period of time in my life.
My husband can die from drinking - that's no joke. He has chronic pancreatitis and diabetes type 1 from alcoholism. 10 years sober and knowing he could get very very sick, even die, he drank again.
Think long and hard about it my friend.
