so basically he drank today? correct?
I am sorry, but nada, nothing, zero has changed.
and I'm not much of a gambler, but I bet he will drink again tomorrow after his appointment. or the day after for sure.
Addiction doesn't and cannot just evaporate. Even if Mom says enough. NO MORE.
Honey, do you know the actual percentage of people who successfully recover? It's a very low percentage. Going to rehab is not a guarantee. Thinking it's best to keep the focus on yourself for now, he has a lot of work to do if he truly wants to recover, and sorry to say, that will not leave much room for any relationship. Not being cruel, just sharing facts.
My intent is not to be harsh, but waggin you are playing with fire here, and from someone who has boarded the crazy train more times than I care to remember, it burns every effin time.
