My husband appears to not be drinking lately and has been more *here*. However, he hasn't reached out for help and frequently leaves the house about the time he used to drink to do *errands*. I'm not holding my breath and have been working with an addiction therapist and going to al anon so if he relapses I am in a better place to do what needs doing. I'm too tired to keep going through the heavy drinking again. He doesn't appear to be inebriated when he gets home but has gone through dry spells before. Not sure whats going to happen...that is in the future. I'm getting those ducks in a row to be safe. Hope you find peace in your life. I'm working for mine.
