Hi TC -

The most important thing to keep in mind is that he won't get sober unless he wants it and is willing to do the work - you can't do it for him.

From his comments, it sounds like he isn't ready to give sobriety his all. Sorry :/

Going into this weekend, I suggest you figure out what your boundaries are so that you can take care of you. Even better if you can make them explicit by writing them down and sharing them with your guy. Your needs are important - don't sacrifice them to an alcoholic. We take all that you'll give us and give little in return.

I also suggest seeing if the rehab facility has any resources for you. There is also a friends and family section here on SR with folks who share experiences and support.

Good luck!
