Help
My husband returned from alcohol detox yesterday. While he was there, I was able to hold it together for myself and the children. It was actually a relief having him away. It was also so nice to talk to speak to my sober husband for the first time in over two years. I know this is a day by day situation, and I know many people go through this several times before it works (or doesn't). I'm just exhausted. He is trying and I don't want to put additional pressure on him, but I just don't see how I could ever go back to life with him drinking. We have been honest with the children, but they don't understand that he may drink again. I think he is glad that he went through the detox program, but I don't think he is convinced that he will never drink again. Everyone says take care of yourself, go to al-anon, but I just don't have myself to take care of.
